Frequently asked questions about electrical protection
Yes. For safety and compliance, every EV charging installation (whether a wall charger or reinforced socket) must include proper electrical protection. This usually means a dedicated circuit with a circuit breaker and a residual current device (RCD). These components protect users and prevent overloads, short circuits or current leakage.
For most wall charging stations (Mode 3), you need:
A circuit breaker sized for your charger’s power (e.g. 40 A for 7.4 kW).
A Type B RCD or a Type A RCD with DC detection (30 mA), depending on your local regulations and charger model.
This setup is based on common European standards such as IEC 61851 and national safety rules.
Yes. For reinforced sockets (Mode 2), you will typically need:
A 20 A circuit breaker.
A Type A RCD (30 mA).
This allows safe charging at 3.7 kW and complies with safety standards used in most EU countries.
We recommend that a qualified electrician installs the protection components, especially for power levels above 3.7 kW. This ensures safety and compliance with your local electrical code.
Yes. Mister EV protection kits are designed to be universal and are compatible with most EV chargers and sockets across Europe. They follow the IEC 61851 standard and match common national rules in countries such as Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland and more.
