PME / PEN Fault Detection Unit for EV Chargers
WCED WMEPME06/C32
The PME / PEN Fault Detection Unit is a critical safety device for EV chargers, such as Tesla models, that lack built-in PEN fault detection. It ensures the integrity of PME (Protective Multiple Earthing) systems by detecting and isolating PEN faults, also known as PEN loss, a condition where the protective earth and neutral conductor (PEN) is compromised.
This compact 6-module unit is designed for residential, commercial, and industrial installations, providing advanced protection and compliance with modern safety standards.
What is PEN Loss?
PEN loss occurs when the combined Protective Earth and Neutral (PEN) conductor in a PME system becomes disconnected or fails. This can result from corrosion, physical damage, or system wear.
During PEN loss, the protective earth (PE) conductor can carry live voltage, creating a dangerous situation where EV chargers, such as Tesla units, and their connected vehicles could become live. Without proper detection and isolation, this can lead to electric shock hazards and equipment damage.
The PME / PEN Fault Detection Unit is specifically designed to monitor PME systems, detect PEN loss, and safely disconnect power to prevent accidents.
