This IP65-rated Weatherproof Enclosure Kit includes a 63A B-Type RCD and a 40A C Curve MCB - making it ideal for electric vehicle (EV) and solar installations where smooth DC leakage detection is required. Designed to meet 18th Edition Amendment 2 regulations, it provides full circuit and residual fault protection in outdoor and exposed environments.
Supplied pre-assembled in a robust plastic enclosure, this unit is perfect for wall-mounting near EV charge points or outdoor PV isolators.
- 63A B-Type RCD – protects against smooth and pulsating DC earth leakage
- 40A C Curve MCB – overload and short-circuit protection
- IP65 enclosure – weatherproof for outdoor installs
- Pre-wired and labelled for quick installation
- Dimensions: 205mm (W) x 140mm (H) x 95mm (D)
Trusted by EV installers and solar contractors for charge point isolation and compliance. Mount externally with confidence, even in harsh weather environments.
Why do I need a B-Type RCD for EV charging?
B-Type RCDs are required when an EV charger can produce smooth DC leakage currents. They detect both AC and DC faults up to 6mA, as required under 18th Edition Amendment 2.
Is this kit suitable for outdoor use?
Yes – the IP65 enclosure is weatherproof and built for external wall mounting, including garages, driveways, and outdoor charging bays.
Can this be used for solar PV protection too?
Yes – it's also suitable for PV installs that need DC leakage protection in an outdoor setting.
