Product Description
The matt:e Single Phase Electric Vehicle Charger Protection units are designed for use in domestic
dwelling applications where single phase PME supplies are feeding Electric Vehicle Chargers. They should
NOT be used on premises with 3 phase supplies.
This manual covers the IP-EVCP-T(Cxx), IP-EVCP-R(Cxx), IP-EVCP-M(Cxx)
models manufactured after July 2023.
The units are not intended for any purpose other than that defined within this document.
Warnings
Please read and observe the following notices carefully. These warnings must be observed when
installing and operating the Electric Vehicle Charger Protection units.
All relevant supplies must be isolated or disconnected before commencing any work. This
product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the IET Wiring Regulations, BS7671
(18th Edition or later) and any relevant Building Regulations and/or Installation Regulations.
Safety Advice
The unit must be installed in a ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
The IP-EVCP units are rated for a maximum 32A.
For any information not contained within this document, please contact our technical support team
on 01543 227290 or [e-mail].
Once installed, the unit has a Live Mains Supply (230v or higher) within
the enclosure. The cover must not be removed until the supply to the
unit has been isolated or disconnected.

Introduction
The matt:e range of Single Phase Electric Vehicle Charger Protection units are designed to protect
Electric Vehicle Charging equipment when installed onto single-phase PME infrastructures .
All units incorporate an electronic detection circuit and 3 pole contactor. The T version has a double pole
isolator and a single terminal on the incoming side of the unit. The M version has a double pole MCB and
a single terminal on the incoming side of the unit. The R version has a double pole Type A RCBO and a
single terminal on the incoming side of the unit.
The IP-EVCP-R(C) versions are rated to be connected directly to the supply meter tails via suitable
connectors. All other versions must be connected via the Consumer Distribution Board or ‘Garage
Board’ and suitable protective device.
The Current Curtailment versions are supplied with a split core CT for installing on the main incoming
supply cable to the property. See page 7 for connection details.
On detection of fault conditions, the electronic circuit disconnects the EV charger from the incoming
supply including CPC by de-energising the contactor. The isolation contactor is certified to BS EN 60947-
4-1 and complies with the requirements of BS: 7671 18th Edition.
The matt:e IP-EVCP technology does not require earth rods or measuring electrodes to function
correctly.
The units are designed to be installed between the service providers meter / distribution board and the
Electric Vehicle Charger. The unit must be mounted securely to a solid surface with the lid hinges at the
left.
The installation location should well-ventilated and out of direct sunlight.
Please refer to the diagrams on the following pages for the dimensions and mounting arrangements of
the units.

Electrical Connections
IP-EVCP-M (Cxx)
Connect the supply cable from the distribution board directly to the MCB ‘mains in’ terminals.
Connect the outgoing cable to the contactor N, E, & L terminals. If required, connect the CT to the 3 pin
connector on the PCB. Check ALL power and earth connections before switching on.
Please note: This product is designed for an isolated earthing arrangement. If in doubt please check
before using SWA cable.

IP-EVCP-R (Cxx)
Connect the supply cable from the distribution board directly to the RCBO ‘mains in’ terminals.
Connect the outgoing cable to the contactor N, E, & L terminals. If required, connect the CT to the 3 pin
connector on the PCB. Check ALL power and earth connections before switching on.
Please note: This product is designed for an isolated earthing arrangement. If in doubt please check
before using SWA cable.

IP-EVCP-T (Cxx)
Connect the supply cable from the distribution board (or meter tails) directly to the isolator ‘Incoming
Supply’ terminals. Connect the outgoing cable to the contactor L, E & N terminals. If required, connect
the CT to the 3 pin connector on the PCB. Check ALL power and earth connections before switching on.
Please note: This product is designed for an isolated earthing arrangement. If in doubt please check
before using SWA cable.

Operating Instructions
With the supply switched on the electronic control circuit in unit will continuously monitor the incoming
supply voltage.
If the incoming supply is within limits, approximately 5 seconds after switching on the contactor will
energise and connect the load to the incoming supply and the CPC. The 5 second delay is to establish
the incoming supply is stable before applying power to the load.
In the event the IP-EVCP unit detects a fault condition on the monitored supply for a period of 4 seconds,
the electronic control circuit will de-energise the contactor coil which will open the contactor
disconnecting Line, Neutral and CPC from the load.
The contactor will remain de-energised until the monitored supply has returned to the correct level and
remained stable for a period of 3 minutes.
The current monitoring versions are supplied with a split core CT to allow the unit to monitor whole
house load. The CT should be clamped around the incoming supply cable directly after the service
providers’ meter. It is designed to measure the FULL load current to the house. Connection diagrams are
shown from page 9.
The current monitor versions of the IP-EVCP-(Cxx) have a current curtailment function designed to
prevent the domestic load exceeding the deemed Domestic Load Level. The current must be factory set.
All versions function in the same way.
The total current of the incoming mains supply is measured by the CT.
Normal operational state – If the measured current demand exceeds the Domestic Load Level for 4
seconds the supply to the EV charger is disconnected by de-energising contactor C1. The new value of
the current demand is noted by the processor 1 second after C1 has been de-energised.
Once the measured current demand has reduced to a value where the current required by the car
charger will not cause the current demand to exceed the deemed Domestic Load Level for a period of 3
minutes the EV charger supply is reinstated by energising C1.
