Read full descriptionThe WMEPME08/SP-C32 is the 32A RCBO version of the metal PME fault detection consumer unit with surge protection. It is listed for EV charging circuits requiring PME/PEN fault protection together with an RCBO and SPD.
An RCBO combines overcurrent and residual-current protection. The required residual-current type, DC leakage protection and surge-protection arrangement depend on the charge point and circuit design. Please contact Power & Data UK with this model code to confirm the fitted RCBO and SPD specifications before ordering.

Is this the 32A or 63A version?
This listing is for WMEPME08/SP-C32, the 32A RCBO version with SPD. Select the rating specified for the circuit and connected equipment.
Does the board include surge protection?
This model is listed with an SPD. Please contact Power & Data UK to confirm its exact type and ratings for your installation.
Does the RCBO provide DC leakage protection?
Do not assume a dedicated smooth-DC detection function. The charge-point instructions determine the required residual-current and DC protection arrangement; confirm the fitted device specification before selection.
Can I use dimensions from another WMEPME board?
Please confirm the dimensions for WMEPME08/SP-C32 before planning the installation. A shared product image or similar model code does not establish the enclosure size.

A qualified electrician must select, install and commission this unit against the instructions for the exact supplied assembly, the charge-point requirements and the applicable BS 7671 requirements.
- Confirm the fitted 32A RCBO's curve, pole arrangement, residual-current type, sensitivity and breaking capacity.
- Check the charge point's DC leakage protection requirements; do not assume this board provides a dedicated smooth-DC detection function.
- Confirm the SPD type and coordination required for the circuit.
- Confirm the enclosure dimensions, IP rating and available wiring space before planning installation.
- Use the supplied wiring diagram and manufacturer terminal identification and torques.
- Verify the PME disconnection and reset functions using the manufacturer's commissioning procedure.
