Introduction 

The 

matt

:

e

  range of Electric Vehicle Charger Connection Units are 

fitted with O-PEN technology designed to protect Electric Vehicle 

Charging equipment when installed onto 3 phase PME infrastructures.  

 

The unit incorporates two 5 pole isolators with a built-in under-voltage 

release mechanism.  On detection of fault conditions the O-PEN 

electronic circuit de-energises the under-voltage release mechanism 

which disconnects all poles of the supply including CPC. The 5 pole 

isolator will automatically reset after a PEN fault but must be manually 

reset after an overcurrent fault in line with IET Wiring Regulations and 

code of practice.   

 

The

e

 O-PEN technology does not require earth rods or measuring 

electrodes to function correctly. 

 

The units are designed to be installed indoors between the distribution 

board and the Electric Vehicle Charger.  The unit must be mounted 

securely to a solid surface with the lid hinges on the left. 

 

 

The installation location should be clean, dry and well ventilated.  
 

 

 

 

 

Please refer to the diagrams on the following pages for the dimensions 
and mounting arrangement of the unit.
