Description

The WMEV220B is a 2-way A-Type RCBO EV Kit fitted with a 20 A B-curve high-immunity Type A RCBO. It delivers overload, short-circuit and earth-leakage protection (30 mA AC + 6 mA DC) in line with 18th Edition Amendment 2, making it ideal for modern EV charger installations requiring reliable dual-pole isolation.

This variant is perfect for domestic or light-commercial EV chargers drawing around 4 – 5 kW, where a standard B-curve device provides stable protection without nuisance trips. It arrives pre-assembled in a compact 2-way steel enclosure ready for immediate fit-out and testing.

Installer Tip: Use a 20 A B-curve kit for chargers drawing up to ≈ 4.6 kW (20 A continuous). If the charger spec notes transformer input or high inrush, switch to a C-curve variant for better surge immunity.

  • 20 A B-curve Type A RCBO with 30 mA AC + 6 mA DC detection
  • Dual-pole (1P + N) isolation for safe EV maintenance
  • Pre-fitted and factory tested in a 2-way steel enclosure
  • High-immunity design reduces nuisance tripping on EV loads
  • Complies with BS EN 61009-1 and BS 7671 (A2)
Part Code Rating Curve Typical Use
WMEV216B 16 A B Standard 3.6 kW chargers
WMEV220B 20 A B Higher-load EV circuits (≈ 4.6 kW)
WMEV225B 25 A B Commercial or shared-supply installations

Each kit combines Type A RCBO protection with a durable steel enclosure for safe, regulation-ready installations. For PEN fault and load balancing compliance, add our PME Fault Detection Unit. For surge defence, fit a Single Module SPD.

FAQs

Is this kit compliant for EV charger circuits?

Yes – it includes a Type A RCBO with 30 mA AC + 6 mA DC detection as required under 18th Edition Amendment 2.

When should I use a 20 A B Curve model?

Use this variant for chargers drawing up to ≈ 4.6 kW or when your supply design specifies a 20 A protective device.

Does it isolate both live and neutral?

Yes – the 1P + N RCBO switches both conductors for complete isolation.

Can I add surge protection?

Yes – use our Single Module SPD or fit upstream surge protection as needed.

Is it suitable for PV as well as EV applications?

Yes – the bi-directional Type A RCBO is compatible with EV and solar PV circuits.
