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.
