The Rolec Type A RCBO EV Consumer Unit is a 20A single-phase consumer unit for compatible EV charging circuits.

EVIN0010 is the 20A single-phase Type A RCBO version in the Rolec EV Consumer Units range. The manufacturer data sheet lists a 230VAC, 50Hz single-phase input and 20A 30mA 2P Type A RCBO fault protection in a 2MOD enclosure. It is described for the installation of an EV charging point that has a DC protective device and PME fault detection, so it should be matched to the charger’s verified internal protection features before installation. The wider Type A range includes EVIN0015 for 40A single-phase circuits, plus EVIN0070 and EVIN0075 for 20A and 40A three-phase circuits. The enclosure is grey powder coated metal, IP40 rated and IK10 impact resistant in the verified data sheet. For associated electrical products, browse EV circuit protection.

When does the Type A RCBO unit fit?

The Type A RCBO consumer unit range is listed for EV charging points that have their own DC protective device and PME fault detection. That matters because the consumer unit should not be selected in isolation. The installer needs to confirm the charger’s internal DC protection and PME features before choosing the Type A route.

EVIN0010 is the 20A single-phase version, which aligns with a 16A EV charger circuit in the data sheet feature wording. It is not the correct selection for a 32A single-phase charger where the 40A Type A RCBO unit is required. It is also not the correct choice for a three-phase supply, where the EVIN0070 and EVIN0075 variants sit in the same Type A product family.

What protection is built in?

The verified product overview lists 20A 30mA 2P Type A RCBO protection for this SKU. The broader data sheet states that Rolec EV consumer units distribute power and provide short circuit, overcurrent and earth leakage protection for EV chargepoint installations. It also lists built-in overload and fault current protection as a product feature.

Final protection selection remains an installer responsibility. Charger requirements, cable route, earthing arrangement, prospective fault current and any surge protection requirement should be assessed for the actual installation. The consumer unit is one part of the EV circuit, not a substitute for the full design process.

Size, enclosure and site checks

The 2MOD Type A single-phase enclosure is listed at 80mm wide, 146mm high and 90mm deep. Its grey epoxy polyester powder coated steel enclosure suits compact mounting positions where a dedicated EV consumer unit is required. The data sheet lists IP40 rating and IK10 impact resistance, so it should be installed in a suitable location for that enclosure rating.

Operating temperature is listed from -25°C to +55°C. Terminals are listed at at least 16mm² in the data sheet. Those details help installers confirm where the unit can be mounted, how the cable route will enter, and whether the surrounding environment is appropriate for an IP40 metal enclosure.

Choosing Type A variants

EVIN0010 is the 20A single-phase Type A RCBO unit. EVIN0015 is the 40A single-phase Type A RCBO unit. EVIN0070 is the 20A three-phase Type A RCBO unit, while EVIN0075 is the 40A three-phase Type A RCBO unit. The decision is driven by current rating and supply type.

For a single-phase 16A charger circuit, this 20A unit is the verified match in the Type A range. For a single-phase 32A charger circuit, the 40A version should be reviewed. For three-phase circuits, choose from the 8MOD three-phase Type A units. Where the charger does not have the required DC protective device, compare the Type B RCD and MCB range instead.
