Introduction
The m tt: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 .
ll units incorporate an electronic detection circuit and 3 pole contactor. The T version has three terminals
on the incoming side of the unit. The M version has a 2 pole MCB and a single terminal on the incoming side
of the unit. The R version has a 2 pole Type RCBO and a single terminal on the incoming side of the unit.
The B version has a 2 pole Type B RCCB, single pole MCB and a single terminal on the incoming side of the
unit.
The SP-EVCP-R(C) nd IP-EVCP-R(C) versions re r ted to be connected directly to the supply meter t ils
vi suit ble connectors. All other versions must be connected vi the Consumer Distribution Bo rd or
‘G r ge Bo rd’ nd suit ble 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 9 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 m tt:e SP-EVCP technology does not require earth rods or measuring electrodes to function correctly.
The units are designed to be installed indoors 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
top.
The inst ll tion loc tion should be cle n, dry nd well ventil ted.
SP-EVCP enclosures h ve gl nd hole knockouts re dy to ccept r nge of c ble gl nds. Drilling or
cutting of the enclosure to m ke ddition l c ble entry points m y d m ge the intern l
components nd compromise their function. Such ction will inv lid te the w rr nty.
Please refer to the diagrams on the following pages for the dimensions and mounting arrangements
of the units.

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 SP-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 on
page 12.
The current monitor versions of the SP-EVCP-..(C) have a current curtailment function designed to prevent
the domestic load exceeding the deemed Domestic Load Level. There are 3 versions, 60 , 80 & 100 . ll
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.
