Protect your EV installation with a weatherproof RCBO and surge protection unit built for outdoor reliability.
Each unit in the WPRC series combines a Type A RCBO with an integrated Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD), all housed in a robust IP65-rated plastic enclosure for safe external mounting.
Perfect for electric vehicle charge points and solar PV circuits, this kit ensures overload, short circuit, AC and DC earth fault, and surge protection – all in one compact unit.
✅ Dual-handle fault indication:
- Black handle only trips – overload or short circuit
- Both handles trip – residual current / earth fault (AC or DC)
Use cases: EV chargers, solar PV systems, and outdoor power circuits needing RCBO + SPD in a weatherproof box.
SKU Options: WPRC32BSP, WPRC32CSP, WPRC40BSP, WPRC40CSP
Built-to-order options: 16A versions available (WPRC16BSP / WPRC16CSP) with 3-day lead time.
Is this suitable for outdoor EV charger installs?
Yes – the IP65 enclosure is fully weatherproof and suitable for wall-mounting near EV charge points, both domestic and commercial.
What does dual-handle tripping mean?
This unique system helps diagnose faults quickly. If only the black handle trips, it’s a short circuit or overload. If both the black and white handles trip, it’s a residual current fault.
Can this be used for solar PV installations?
Yes – it’s a great fit for protecting solar strings or battery systems where surge and RCBO protection are needed in an outdoor location.
