Comprehensive Protection for EV Charging Installations
The WCED PEN fault detection device with surge protection is designed to safeguard your EV charger and home from dangerous earthing faults. Fully compatible with Tesla and other leading EV chargers, this unit automatically disconnects power if a PEN fault is detected, ensuring full compliance with the latest IET wiring regulations. Compact, robust, and easy to install, this EV protection device combines PEN detection and surge protection in one smart solution. Trusted by professional installers and developed by WCED for safe and compliant EV installations across the UK.
🔧 Key Features
PEN Fault Detection: Automatically monitors the supply voltage on both 230V and 240V lines. In the event of an under-voltage (<207V) or over-voltage (>253V), it isolates the live, neutral, and earth within 5 seconds, ensuring utmost safety. The unit resets automatically after an under-voltage isolation when normal operating range is restored. For over-voltage isolation, the "RESET" button on WVP32 can be pressed to reset the device, prioritizing safety.
40A RCBO: Provides protection against both overload and earth leakage faults, ensuring the safety of the connected EV charger.
Type 2 Surge Protection: Optional surge protection to safeguard against transient voltage spikes, enhancing the longevity and reliability of the EV charging equipment.
IP65 Enclosure: Durable plastic enclosure suitable for outdoor installations, offering protection against dust and water ingress.
Mains Isolation: Ensures complete isolation of the EV charger from the mains supply during fault conditions.
