The provided datasheet indicates it contains a 100A double pole main switch isolator, a 40A Double Pole Type A RCBO, and an integral Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD). The RCBO conveniently combines both 40A overload/short-circuit protection and 30mA Type A RCD fault protection into one device for the final EV charging circuit.

Durable IP65 Construction for Outdoor Use

Built to withstand the elements, the CFEV5RDAW-01 features a 2mm cast aluminium body offering IP65 protection against dust and water jets. Its UV stability, confirmed by the manufacturer's data, ensures the gloss white finish remains durable over time. Flexible installation is aided by multiple M20 knockouts (drillable to M32) for easy EV cabling management.
