IP65 EV Consumer Unit with Double Pole B40A Type A RCBO and PEN Fault Detection
Garo GC6EV40PME – Weatherproof PEN Fault Detection EV Consumer Unit with Double Pole Protection
Compact & Compliant EV Consumer Unit for TN-C-S (PME) Systems
The Garo GC6EV40PME is a durable and regulation-ready pen loss EV consumer unit designed for domestic EV charger installations on PME systems. Featuring an IP65-rated ABS enclosure, this PME fault detection consumer unit includes a double pole B40A Type A RCBO and integrated PEN fault detection.
Ideal for external or garage-mounted use, it provides peace of mind for homeowners and installers looking for a compliant and compact EV charging solution under the latest BS 7671 (18th Edition) regulations.
When a voltage issue or PEN fault occurs, the unit disconnects power to keep your system safe. Once the voltage returns to normal and the fault clears, the unit automatically resets itself, and charging resumes without manual intervention.

Understanding PEN Fault / PEN Loss Protection
In TN-C-S (PME) systems, the protective earth and neutral conductors are combined. If the PEN conductor becomes damaged or lost, hazardous voltages can appear on exposed earthed parts.
The Garo GC6EV40PME includes built-in PEN fault detection, which monitors voltage levels and cuts power to all conductors—including live, neutral, and earth—within 4 seconds if a voltage deviation is detected. This complies with Regulation 543.3.3.101(ii) and 722.411.4 of BS 7671, providing essential protection without needing an earth rod.
