Ensuring Safe EV Charging with Dedicated Consumer Units

Safer electrical supply for your electric vehicle charging point is provided by a dedicated EV charger consumer unit. These specialist fuse boxes are designed to provide a single, isolated circuit for your EV charger, offering a superior level of safety and reliability compared to simply adding it to a standard domestic board. The use of a separate unit ensures that any fault with the charger does not affect your main property's electrical supply.

Each unit is pre-assembled with a main switch, a high-quality Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection (RCBO), and in many cases, a Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD). The RCBO provides essential protection against both overloads and earth faults, which is a mandatory requirement for EV charger installations. The integrated SPD safeguards your charger and vehicle's sensitive electronics from power surges. These units are an essential component for any new EV charger installation, offering a neat, compliant, and highly secure solution.
