1.What is the appropriate protection for EV chargers?
Electric mobility presents a new paradigm for electricity specialists. As the number of electric vehicles on the road increases, there will be a greater need for charging points, with residual current protection being vital to ensure that facilities and people alike are kept safe. The use of this type of device in public spaces and by non-specialized personnel requires adequate residual current protection.
2.Fault currents of up to 6mA DC can be present while charging electric vehicles. Given this possibility, a conventional Type AC or A RCCB would not be able to operate correctly, as it could lead to unwanted trips or, in the worst case, stop protecting altogether.
