Description
The WEVCU32C is a compact 3-way IP40-rated metal EV connection unit fitted with a 100 A double-pole main switch and 32 A Type C MCB. It provides safe local isolation and overcurrent protection for single-phase EV charge points in accordance with BS 7671:2018 Amendment 2.
This Type C model is suited to EV chargers with higher inrush or transformer-based loads, offering greater immunity to start-up surges while maintaining precise short-circuit protection. Compact, installer-friendly and regulation-ready, it’s a reliable choice for domestic and light-commercial EV installations.
Installer Tip: Use Type C breakers where the EV charger’s inrush current exceeds five to ten times the rated load. Always verify manufacturer guidance before final selection.
- Includes 100 A double-pole isolator switch for local disconnection
- Fitted with 32 A Type C MCB for overload and short-circuit protection
- 3-way IP40 steel enclosure – compact and durable
- Surface-mount design with protective front cover
- Compatible with PME and surge-protected installations
- Meets BS EN 61439-3 and BS 7671 (18th Edition)

Installation notes
Install by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671. The unit should be mounted near the EV charger for convenient isolation and easy access to terminations. Always verify that breaker characteristics suit the charger’s load profile.
- Mount securely on a level surface using all four keyhole fixings
- Use glands or grommets on open knockouts to maintain IP40 integrity
- Keep conductor runs short and neatly routed
- Confirm torque values on all terminals before energising
- Indoor use only – not weatherproof
FAQs
Why choose a Type C MCB for EV installations?
Type C MCBs handle higher inrush currents from chargers with internal transformers or capacitive loads, reducing unwanted trips while maintaining protection.
Does this include surge protection?
No. It provides isolation and overcurrent protection only. Add a surge device at the main board if required.
Can it be installed outdoors?
No. The enclosure is IP40 rated for indoor use only.
Is it pre-wired?
No. It’s supplied un-wired so the installer can configure conductors to suit the circuit layout.
Is it compliant with the 18th Edition?
Yes. When installed correctly, it meets BS EN standards and all relevant BS 7671 (Amendment 2) requirements.
