Domestic EV
installations

A dedicated connection point for one 7.4 kW single-phase EV charger, with PEN fault protection, a Type A RCBO and surge protection built into one enclosure.

The new SP-M1b3t-R-SPD and IP-M1b3t-R-SPD units.

Safe home EV charging made simple

The SP-M1b3t-R-SPD and IP-M1b3t-R-SPD provide a simple, dedicated connection point for a single-phase EV charger. Built-in IET 01 M1b3t PEN fault protection allows connection to a PME earthing facility without installing an earth electrode.

If a PEN fault is detected, the unit disconnects the line, neutral and protective conductor, and stays off until it has been investigated and manually reset. After a normal power cut it checks the supply for around 20 seconds and reconnects automatically.

Ideal for domestic driveways, cross-pavement charging and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) installations.
