Why do I need a dedicated EV consumer unit?

A separate unit ensures your EV charger has its own protected circuit, meeting UK safety regulations and preventing interference with household circuits.

What does the Type A RCBO do?

It combines overcurrent and earth leakage protection, designed specifically to handle the DC leakage that can occur with EV chargers.

Why is SPD important in EV charging?

The Surge Protection Device guards your charger and connected electronics from sudden voltage spikes, reducing the risk of costly damage.

Is this unit compliant with UK regulations?

Yes. It meets the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations and is suitable for domestic EV charger installations.
