BG CFEV5AW IP65 40A EV Charger Consumer Unit with Type A RCD, MCB & Type 2 SPD

Provide dedicated circuit protection for a compatible electric vehicle charging installation with the BG Sync Energy CFEV5AW-01 White IP65 EV Consumer Unit. Designed specifically for EV applications, this weatherproof 5-module enclosure is supplied pre-populated with a 40A 30mA double-pole Type A RCD, 40A B-curve MCB and Type 2 surge protection device, providing a convenient combined protection solution for suitable EV charger circuits.

The CFEV5AW-01 is particularly relevant for customers and installers searching for a home EV charger consumer unit, EV charger protection unit, 40A EV consumer unit, EV charger RCD MCB SPD enclosure, outdoor EV charger consumer unit or IP65 electric car charging protection box.

Dedicated EV Charger Circuit Protection

Rather than being an EV charger itself, the CFEV5AW-01 is a dedicated EV circuit-protection enclosure designed to form part of an appropriately specified electric vehicle charging installation. BG states that this configuration is intended for use where the EV charger supply cable does not have mechanical protection.

The populated kit combines three important protective devices within one enclosure:

40A 30mA Type A RCD – provides residual-current protection within the specified EV circuit configuration.

40A B-Curve MCB – provides overcurrent protection for the dedicated circuit.

Type 2 SPD – provides surge protection against transient overvoltages that could otherwise affect connected electrical equipment.

Having these components already supplied within the enclosure can make the CFEV5AW-01 an attractive solution for electricians installing a compatible home EV wall charger or electric car charging point.

IP65 Weatherproof Protection

One of the key advantages of this model is its IP65-rated enclosure.

BG specifies the CFEV5AW-01 for internal or external use, allowing the circuit-protection equipment to be positioned in suitable indoor or outdoor locations as part of the EV charging installation.

The enclosure is manufactured from UV-stable cast aluminium ADC12, helping provide a durable housing suited to more demanding installation environments. BG's technical sheet specifies approximately 2mm cast aluminium construction.

This makes it particularly relevant for EV charger installations around:

• Residential driveways
• Garages
• Exterior house walls
• Carports
• Residential parking areas
• Commercial EV charging locations
• Indoor utility areas
• Suitable outdoor charging installations
