Your EV’s Smart Safety Guardian

Discover the JCB2LE-EV RCBO, a clever two-in-one protector that keeps electric vehicle chargers safe from leaks, overloads, and faul

So, you’ve joined the electric vehicle revolution—congratulations! But while you’re busy dreaming of silent rides and instant torque, there’s a humble, boxy hero working behind the scenes: your circuit protection. Enter , the unsung guardian of your EV charger.

Think of it as a hyper-vigilant bouncer for your electricity supply. It doesn’t just do one job; it combines two critical safety features into one neat device. First, it acts as a Residual Current Device (RCD)—a life-saver that detects even tiny electricity leaks (as small as 30mA, known as “Type A” sensitivity). This is crucial for EV charging, where pulsating DC currents can occur. If it senses current “leaking” out, perhaps through a fault or damaged cable, it cuts the power in milliseconds, preventing electric shocks.

Second, it’s a Circuit Breaker. If your charger or circuit tries to draw too much power (overload) or a sudden short-circuit happens (like a sudden power surge), its “B or C curve” tripping mechanism springs into action. With a mighty 10kA breaking capacity, it can safely interrupt a massive fault current, protecting your wiring from damage and potential fire.

What makes the JCB2LE-EV particularly smart is its switched live and neutral. Unlike some devices that only switch the live wire, this one fully isolates both conductors. It’s like double-locking the door on a faulty circuit, making it completely dead for safer maintenance and testing. Available in 32A or 40A ratings, it’s perfectly sized for home EV charger setups.

Compliant with strict international standards (IEC 61009-1), this little device is more than just a requirement; it’s peace of mind. It ensures that your journey towards a greener future is built on a foundation of rock-solid safety. So, when planning your EV charger installation, choose a true guardian. Choose the JCB2LE-EV RCBO—because your electric adventure deserves the best protection.
