EV RCBOs for Dedicated EV Charger Circuits

EV RCBOs provide combined overcurrent and residual current protection for dedicated EV charger circuits. Built with Type A detection and high-immunity filtering, they prevent nuisance tripping caused by the harmonics, pulsed DC leakage and switching noise common in modern EV chargers.

Most EV chargers include their own 6mA DC protection module, so the correct protective device is a Type A RCBO with stable performance under DC offset and electrical noise. High-immunity Type A RCBOs ensure smooth operation while maintaining full 30mA earth-leakage protection for the circuit.

  • Type A protection – required for EV chargers under 18th Edition
  • High immunity design – prevents false trips from harmonics
  • B & C curve options – suited to both domestic and light commercial loads
  • 6A–40A ratings – covers all common EV charger demands
  • Single-pole and 2-pole versions depending on the installation

These RCBOs are widely used across EV charger installations because they meet modern leakage-detection requirements while providing reliable disconnection without nuisance tripping.

Selecting an RCBO for an EV Charger Circuit

The charger manufacturer’s instructions determine the required residual-current arrangement. Confirm any built-in DC leakage detection before selecting an external Type A, Type B or other protective solution, then coordinate the RCBO rating and curve with the circuit design.

High-Immunity Type A RCBOs

Often selected for compatible chargers and noise-prone circuits where the equipment provides the required DC leakage monitoring. Confirm that arrangement from the charger instructions.

Rating & Trip Curve

Common charger circuits use different ratings and may need B or C curve protection depending on load characteristics, conductor sizing and disconnection calculations.

Complete EV Protection Units

Pre-configured EV boards can combine RCBO protection with surge protection, isolation and PEN fault protection where required by the design.

Specification Checklist

  • Charger instructions: verify external RCD type and built-in DC detection
  • Circuit rating: coordinate charger load, conductor capacity and upstream supply
  • Trip curve: select for normal operating and inrush characteristics
  • Earthing arrangement: assess PME and any required open-PEN protection
  • Surge protection: consider the installation assessment and charger requirements
