The WME5L/32 is a 5 way mini metal enclosure with lid, offering maximum flexibility within the compact WME range. Designed to house multiple RCBOs, SPDs, rotary isolators, or control modules, it’s the go-to solution for installers building small sub-boards or EV-ready assemblies where additional ways are essential.
Installer Tip: When you’re wiring a small EV or renewable setup that needs an isolator, RCBO, and SPD in one place - the WME5L/32 gives you that extra room to keep everything accessible and compliant without resorting to a full consumer unit.

- Powder-coated steel body with a hinged, drop-down lid
- 32mm knockouts top and bottom for versatile cable routing
- Pre-installed DIN rail and earth bar – ready to fit straight out the box
- Compact but spacious design – balances accessibility with footprint efficiency
- Complies with BS EN 61439-3 and 18th Edition Amendment 2

Built to match the finish of our metal enclosures and EV-ready boards, it’s a reliable choice for domestic and commercial retrofit work.

It’s designed for compact multi-device builds — such as isolator + RCBO + surge protection device + contactor combinations — ideal for EV, solar, and small sub-distribution boards.
Is it compatible with WCED RCBOs and MCBs?
Yes, the enclosure supports all WCED RCBOs and MCBs for consistent, compliant installs.
Can this unit replace a small consumer unit?
In many retrofit or add-on installs, yes. It’s often used where a few additional protected circuits are required without the need for a full board.
