Built-in Protection 

zappi

 has a number of protection features built into the device to make it safe and simple to install. 

RCD Protection 

The RCD (Residual Current Device) will trip the output from 

zappi

 if there is an electrical fault to ground. The RCD 

is similar to the protective devices found in most domestic consumer units (the “fuse box”) but the standards for 
electric vehicle charging require additional protection for small DC leakage currents. 

zappi

 provides this protection 

in accordance with EN 62955 (Integral 30mA Type A RCD + 6mA DC leakage protection).   Local wiring regulations 
should be checked to confirm whether an additional upstream RCD is also required. 

If there is an electrical fault to ground and the RCD operates the 

zappi

 display will show RCD Tripped!  

To reset the 

zappi

, make sure that the fault has been removed and then press the 

 button for three seconds. 

Loss of PEN Conductor 

The  Protective  Neutral  and  Earth  (PEN)  conductor  refers  to  part  of  the  electricity  cable  to  the  property.  If  this 
conductor is damaged there is a danger that the chassis of the electric vehicle being charged will become “live” and 
cause an electric shock. BS7671:2018 Amendment 1:2020 part 722.411.4.1 requires that extra protection is provided 
to prevent an electric shock – either by fitting an extra earth electrode or through a device which detects the fault 
and disconnects the supply.  

zappi

 has this protection built-in

11

 and will disconnect the output if it detects a problem with the PEN conductor or 

detects that there may be any electric current flowing through the chassis of the EV. This built-in protection means 
that there is no need to install an earth electrode with the 

zappi

.  

If 

zappi

 detects a problem with the PEN conductor then the display will show PEN Fault!  

To reset the 

zappi

, check the continuity of the earth cable and then press the 

 button for three seconds. 

Loss of Protective Earth 

zappi

 can measure the continuity of the protective earth conductor (the earth wire) on the supply cable. If the earth 

is disconnected or has a high impedance, then 

zappi

 will trip and the display will show PE not connected!  

To reset the 

zappi

, make sure that the fault has been removed and then press the 

 button for three seconds. 

Welded Contact 

zappi

 includes protection to make sure that the supply to an EV is disconnected if there is a problem with the circuit 

breaker.  This  includes  a  situation  where  the  contacts  on  the  breaker  are  welded  together.  This  is  a  specific 
requirement of the Renault “Z.E. Ready” and ASEFA “EV Ready” standards (e.g. requirement for Nissan).  

If 

zappi

 detects a problem with a welded contact, then the display will show RLY WELDED!  

If  this  happens  and  the  fault  cannot  be  reset  by  pressing  the 

  button  for  three  seconds,  then  please  contact
