PME / PEN Fault Detection Unit for EV Chargers
WCED WMEPME06/C40
The PME / PEN Fault Detection Unit is a vital safety device for EV chargers, especially for models like Tesla that lack integrated PEN fault detection. Designed for use in PME (Protective Multiple Earthing) systems, it carefully monitors and detects PEN faults or PEN loss—a condition where the PEN conductor becomes compromised. This compact 6-module unit not only enhances safety but also ensures compliance with modern standards for EV charging.
What is PEN Loss?
PEN loss happens when the combined Protective Earth and Neutral (PEN) conductor in a PME system is damaged or disconnected. As a result, the protective earth conductor (PE) can become live, creating a hazardous situation. If left undetected, PEN loss can electrify connected devices, such as an EV during charging, and pose serious safety risks. Fortunately, this unit mitigates such risks by detecting PEN loss and isolating the fault quickly, ensuring safe operation.
