PME Fault Detection Consumer Unit – 40A C Curve RCBO (WMEPME06/C40)

The WMEPME06/C40 is the 40A C Curve RCBO version of the metal PME fault detection consumer unit. It provides a compact board option for EV charging circuits requiring an appropriate PME/PEN protection arrangement.

The enclosure measures 232mm wide × 240mm high × 112mm deep. Choose it against the charge-point and circuit requirements, including the fitted RCBO's residual-current specification.

Key details

• Current rating: 40A
• Curve: C
• Configuration: metal PME consumer unit, RCBO version

Installation and commissioning must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Use the instructions supplied with the exact assembly and the charge point, together with the applicable BS 7671 requirements.

• Confirm the charge point's requirements for residual-current, DC leakage, overcurrent and PEN fault protection.
• Select cable sizes and protective-device settings for the load and installation conditions.
• Follow the wiring diagram, terminal identification and tightening torques supplied with the exact assembly.
• Test the protection and PME disconnection/reset functions using the manufacturer's commissioning procedure.
• Confirm the enclosure IP rating and module capacity before planning its location and wiring space.
• Establish any required surge-protection provision for the circuit.

What is the current rating of WMEPME06/C40?

WCED lists WMEPME06/C40 as a 40A C Curve model. Select it only where that rating and curve suit the circuit design.

Is an SPD specified for this version?

WCED lists this model separately from the WMEPME08/SP surge-protected version. If surge protection is required, compare WMEPME08/SP and confirm the supplied configuration before ordering.

Does the model code mean six spare circuits?

No spare-circuit capacity is stated here. Confirm the actual enclosure and fitted equipment; a model suffix does not establish spare outgoing ways.

Does this board guarantee a compliant EV installation?

Suitability depends on the charge point, earthing arrangement and circuit design. A qualified electrician must select and commission the complete installation using the supplied instructions and the applicable BS 7671 requirements.
