Read full descriptionThe WPRC32BSP/8 combines a 32A B Curve Type A RCBO and Type 2 surge protection in an 8-way IP65 plastic enclosure. The RCBO provides overcurrent and residual-current protection, while the SPD protects against transient overvoltages.
This /8 version uses the larger enclosure format. The fitted devices occupy part of that space: eight ways does not mean eight spare outgoing circuits. Select the current rating, trip curve and protection arrangement against the charger instructions and circuit design.
Key details
- RCBO current rating: 32A
- Overcurrent trip curve: B
- Residual-current protection: Type A
- Surge protection: Type 2 SPD
- Enclosure: 8-way IP65 plastic
For EV charging, confirm the required smooth-DC fault protection and any open-PEN protection separately. A Type A RCBO and SPD do not, by themselves, establish that all charge-point protection requirements are met.

What does WPRC32BSP/8 include?
A 32A B Curve Type A RCBO and Type 2 SPD in an 8-way IP65 plastic enclosure.
Does Type A mean 6mA smooth-DC detection?
No. Type A describes residual-current response to AC and pulsating DC. It does not, on its own, establish a built-in 6mA smooth-DC trip function. Confirm the charger's DC-protection arrangement and the exact supplied kit specification.
Is the RCBO curve the same as the residual-current type?
No. B or C Curve identifies the overcurrent tripping characteristic. Type A identifies the residual-current protection type. Both must suit the circuit design.
Are all eight ways spare?
No. The enclosure format includes space occupied by the fitted RCBO and SPD. Please contact Power & Data UK to confirm the available outgoing space and approved device arrangement.
Does the kit include open-PEN protection?
The listed configuration is an RCBO and SPD. Confirm any separate open-PEN protection required for the earthing arrangement; residual-current and surge protection perform different functions.
- Part code: WPRC32BSP/8
- RCBO current rating: 32A
- Overcurrent trip curve: B
- Residual-current protection: Type A
- Surge protection: Type 2 SPD
- Enclosure: 8-way IP65 plastic
For the exact /8 assembly dimensions, fitted RCBO model and sensitivity, SPD performance values and available outgoing space, please contact Power & Data UK before ordering.
A built-in 6mA smooth-DC detection function is not confirmed for this kit. Confirm the required EV DC-fault protection separately.
A qualified electrician must select, install and test the WPRC32BSP/8 against the charger requirements, circuit design and supplied assembly instructions.
- Verify that the 32A rating and B Curve characteristic suit the load, cable and required disconnection performance.
- Confirm residual-current, smooth-DC and any open-PEN protection required by the complete EV installation.
- Follow the supplied assembly line/load markings and wiring diagram; do not infer the feed direction from another RCBO or enclosure.
- Use suitable mounting and cable-entry fittings and maintain the enclosure's IP65 rating.
- Follow the supplied SPD connection, conductor, coordination and terminal-torque instructions.
- Inspect, test and label the completed circuit before putting it into service.
