Protecting Electric Vehicle Charging: Proteus 3 module, 4 pole, RCBO
Company: Simpson & Partners | Location: Cotswolds | Sector: EV Charging
Simpson & Partners (S&P) manufacture Electric Vehicle Chargers (EVC) and have incorporated Proteus 3 module, 4 pole RCBOs within their new Business range of electric vehicle chargers. This ensured their new range had the correct protection and continued their elegant profile from their Home Charging range.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of EV charging, Simpson & Partners looked to their design background and local Cotswold environment to expose a unique gap in the charger market. In 2021 they launched their Home Charging range which took the market by storm. Not only did it tick all the charging and protection requirements, but its housing was designed to stand out from others, whilst complimenting modern architectural design and colours.
When looking to further their extend range and provide an aesthetically pleasing Business Charger, S&P had to ensure safety and reliability in the first instance. In addition, and to keep on brand they also wanted to continue the simplistic modern profile from the Home Charger. Therefore, selecting the circuit protection devices that were efficiently designed to handle the unique requirements of EV charging, was essential.
To address this challenge, S&P’s research and development team decided to integrate our award-winning 3 module 4 pole RCBOs, popular for their innovative design and compatibility with modern charging infrastructure. These devices switch 3 phases and neutral in a compact 3 module device. Working closely with the Proteus Technical Team, the devices were designed into the charger to provide electrical and personnel protection in accordance with the latest electrical regulations.
The 3 module, 4 pole RCBOs perfectly integrate into the charging system, ensuring optimal performance and protection against electrical faults. This innovation not only enhances the safety of their new Business Chargers but also left space for an additional MCB to be fitted to power the integrated network module, allowing the ability to daisy chain ethernet between the freestanding units.
By utilising the Proteus 3 module, 4 pole RCBO, S&P successfully continue to incorporate their unique approach to EVC design into their latest product range. As a result, they have further strengthened their offering while ensure the utmost safety for their customers.
