Description
The WPEVCU32BSP/8 is an 8 Way IP65 EV Connection Unit with Surge Protection designed for EV charger supplies that require a weatherproof, regulation-compliant solution. It combines isolation, overload protection, and surge defence in a compact, preassembled board — ready to install straight out of the box.
Installer Tip: Keep SPD earth connections as short and direct as possible – ideally under 150mm – to comply with BS 7671 surge protection guidance and minimise let-through voltage.
- 100A main switch isolator for safe circuit isolation and maintenance
- 32A B-Curve MCB providing overload and short-circuit protection
- Factory-fitted Type 2 SPD – shields EV chargers from transient voltage spikes
- IP65 weatherproof enclosure with hinged cover for outdoor use
- Preassembled and tested for fast, regulation-compliant installation
- Complies with BS EN 61439-3 and 18th Edition surge protection requirements
- Built to order – typically dispatched within 3 working days

FAQs
Is this suitable for outdoor EV charger installations?
Yes. The IP65-rated enclosure is weatherproof and designed for external mounting near EV charge points, garages, or driveways.
Does this include surge protection?
Yes. A Type 2 SPD is factory-fitted to protect EV circuits from transient overvoltage. For three-phase protection, see our 3 Phase SPD Enclosure.
Is it 18th Edition compliant?
Yes – fully compliant with BS 7671:2018 Amendment 2, including surge protection and isolation requirements for EV charger supplies.
Does it include earth fault protection?
No – this model provides overload and surge protection only. For installations needing PEN or earth leakage protection, pair with a PME Fault Detection Unit or upstream Type A RCBO.
How quickly is it dispatched?
Units are built to order and usually dispatched within three working days from our UK warehouse.
