The WPKPME08/SP is an IP65 PME consumer unit combining a 40A MCB, PME fault monitoring and a factory-fitted Type 2 SPD. It is intended for single-phase EV charging circuits where the required residual-current protection is provided elsewhere in the completed design.
The MCB provides overload and short-circuit protection; it does not provide residual-current protection. The connected charger and upstream arrangement must therefore be checked carefully before this MCB-based model is selected.
Installer Tip: Choose the MCB version only where suitable residual-current protection is already provided. If the consumer unit needs its own Type A RCBO, compare the WPEPME08/SP.
Key Features
- 40A MCB – overcurrent and short-circuit protection
- Type 2 SPD – factory-fitted surge protection
- PME fault monitoring – switches line, neutral and protective conductor through the linked contactor arrangement
- IP65 enclosure – suitable for appropriately located indoor or outdoor installations
- Pre-wired assembly – built and tested before dispatch
- No integral RCD or RCBO – residual-current protection must be provided by the complete circuit design
PME Fault Protection for EV Charging
The built-in monitoring arrangement checks the supply against the manufacturer’s stated under-voltage and over-voltage thresholds. When a qualifying abnormal condition is detected, the assembly operates its linked switching arrangement to disconnect line, neutral and the protective conductor. Under-voltage recovery is automatic; an over-voltage operation requires manual reset.
Final selection still depends on the charger, supply characteristics, earthing arrangement and the protective devices already present. Installation, inspection and testing must be completed by a suitably qualified person in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the current edition of BS 7671.
