The WCED WPEPME08/SP RCBO SPD is designed for installations requiring load management for Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers that lack integral PME, earth leakage, and overload protection. Its key benefit is providing crucial safety through automatic isolation during voltage fluctuations, with a caveat that over-voltage events require manual reset. This unit integrates RCBO, PME, and SPD functionalities into a single IP65-rated enclosure.

It provides essential safety protection, including voltage fluctuation isolation, PME fault detection, and surge protection, for EV chargers that lack these integrated features.
It automatically isolates the electrical supply within 5 seconds if the voltage falls below 207V (under-voltage) or rises above 253V (over-voltage).
It automatically resets after an under-voltage fault when the voltage returns to normal. An over-voltage fault requires a manual reset by pressing the "RED" button.
PME stands for Protective Multiple Earthing. This unit includes PME fault detection, which is crucial for safety in installations where the charger might be exposed to specific earthing issues.
It is specifically designed for EV chargers that do not have built-in PME protection, earth leakage protection, and overload protection, and require load management.
The IP65 rating means the unit is protected against dust ingress (first digit '6') and against low-pressure water jets from any direction (second digit '5'), making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
No, due to the critical nature of electrical safety, this unit must be installed by a qualified and certified electrician.
Check for persistent over-voltage conditions (above 253V) or earth leakage faults. Ensure the "RED" reset button is fully pressed. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
Verify the incoming voltage is within the operating range (207V-253V). Check for any intermittent faults in the charger or wiring. Consider if the load exceeds the 40A rating.
Confirm the unit has not tripped due to voltage fluctuation. Check the main power supply to the unit. If the unit has tripped due to under-voltage, it should reset automatically once power is stable. If over-voltage tripped it, use the manual reset.
Setup: This unit must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with relevant wiring regulations. It should be wired into the circuit supplying the EV charger. Ensure the power supply meets the 230V AC, 50/60Hz requirements.
Compatibility: Ideal for Electric Vehicle Chargers that do not have integral PME, earth leakage, or overload protection and require load management. It is designed for a 40A rated current circuit.
Care: The WCED WPEPME08/SP has an IP65 rating, offering protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. To maintain its performance, periodically clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the enclosure remains securely closed to maintain its IP rating.
