3 Phase Surge Protection Device Unit with 8 Way Metal IP40 enclosure 40A RCBO

Pre-wired in the UK and tested before dispatch – allow up to 3 working days for shipping.

The WRCUSP440C is a ready-to-fit 3-Phase Surge Protection Device (SPD) Unit supplied in an 8-way IP40 steel enclosure. It includes a 4-pole Type 2 SPD (20kA/40kA) paired with a 40A Type A High Immunity RCBO, giving you full protection against surges, overcurrent, and earth leakage faults in one compact, compliant board. Built to BS 7671:2018 Amendment 2, this unit is the best all-round choice for EV charging, solar PV, heat pump systems, and industrial sites with sensitive electronic loads.

Why Choose the 40A RCBO Variant?

The WRCUSP440C eliminates the need for separate MCB + RCD devices, simplifying the installation while maximising protection. This makes it:

• Comprehensive - protects against surges, overcurrent, and earth leakage
• High Immunity - reduced nuisance tripping on noisy inverter circuits
• Space-saving - all-in-one board with SPD + RCBO
• Compliant - built to BS EN 61009-1 and BS 7671 Amd 2
• Installer-friendly - pre-wired, labelled, and tested in the UK

• Rear and side knockouts provided for flexible cable entry
• SPD earth connection must be kept as short as possible
• Wiring schematic supplied inside the enclosure lid for reference

When should I choose the RCBO version?

Choose this version when you want surge suppression, overcurrent protection, and earth leakage protection combined in one unit. It’s the best option for EV hubs, solar PV, and heat pump installs where compliance and reliability are critical.

What’s the benefit over the RCD version?

The RCD variant adds only leakage protection. The RCBO combines overcurrent + leakage in one device, simplifying wiring and saving board space.

Is this compliant with 18th Edition regs?

Yes – it meets BS 7671 Amendment 2 requirements, with a Type 2 SPD and a Type A RCBO included.

Does it include neutral and earth bars?

Yes – the board is supplied with neutral and earth bars fitted inside the enclosure.
