Understanding PEN Loss and PME Fault Protection
In TN-C-S systems (also called PME), the neutral and earth conductors are combined into one (PEN conductor). If the PEN conductor is damaged or lost—known as a PEN fault—dangerous voltages may be present on the earth terminal, posing a risk of electric shock.
The Garo G6EV40PME features PEN fault detection that actively monitors voltage levels and automatically disconnects all live conductors, including earth, within 4 seconds if the voltage moves outside the safe 207V–253V range.
This level of safety complies with Regulation 543.3.3.101(ii) and 722.411.4 of BS 7671:2018 (Amendment 1:2020), eliminating the need for external earth rods in EV installations on TN-C-S systems.
