This WCED Consumer Unit (WMEPME10/LB) is designed for Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers that lack integral PME protection, earth leakage protection, overload protection, and require load management. Its key benefit is the automatic monitoring and isolation of the electrical supply during voltage fluctuations, ensuring charger and system safety. A caveat is that over-voltage events require manual reset. It features integrated RCBO, SPD, and load balancing capabilities, alongside automatic voltage monitoring across 230V and 240V systems.

PME (Protective Multiple Earning) protection is a safety feature that helps to ensure that the earthing system remains effective. Some EV chargers require this protection to be built-in or provided externally.
The unit operates normally between 207V and 253V AC. It will isolate the supply if the voltage falls below 207V or rises above 253V.
The unit will isolate the Live, Neutral, and Earth within 4 seconds of detecting an under-voltage or over-voltage condition.
No, this WCED consumer unit integrates an RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection) and an SPD (Surge Protection Device) into a single unit, simplifying installation.
Load management refers to the unit's ability to manage the electrical load, potentially preventing overload conditions and ensuring stability, especially relevant when supplying high-demand devices like EV chargers.
This unit is specifically designed for EV chargers that *do not* have integral PME protection, earth leakage protection, and overload protection. It is not suitable for chargers that already include these features.
The rated current for this consumer unit is 40A.
Check that the main power supply to the consumer unit is on and within the normal operating voltage range (207V-253V). Verify all connections are secure. Ensure the reset button hasn't been tripped by an over-voltage event.
This may indicate persistent under-voltage or over-voltage conditions. Check your main power supply stability. Consult your electricity provider if the issue is ongoing. Ensure the EV charger's load does not exceed the unit's 40A rating.
Confirm that the supply voltage has returned to the normal operating range (207V-253V). Press the "RED" reset button firmly. If the issue persists, a qualified electrician should inspect the unit and supply.
Ensure the supply voltage has returned to the normal operating range. If it remains low, the unit will not reset. If the voltage is within range and it still doesn't reset, contact a qualified electrician.
Setup:
This unit should be installed by a qualified electrician following all relevant wiring regulations. It is designed to be integrated into an existing electrical distribution system, typically serving as a dedicated supply for an EV charger.
