As electric vehicle charging becomes increasingly common within domestic installations, having the right protection in place is essential. Contactum’s new Defender 2 EV Consumer Units provide a compact, ready-to-install solution designed specifically for domestic EV charging applications.

Combining the award-winning Defender 2 enclosure with a Type 2 Compact SPD and Type A Bi-Directional RCBO, the new units bring essential protection together in one convenient consumer unit.

Designed for straightforward installation

The new Defender 2 EV Consumer Units provide installers with a practical solution combining protection, convenience and space efficiency.

Available with either a B Curve or C Curve Bi-Directional RCBO, the range offers flexibility for different installation requirements, whilst the compact Defender 2 enclosure is well suited to domestic environments.

By bringing key protection devices together in one unit, the range simplifies product selection and installation, helping to save time whilst ensuring a professional finish. Its compact footprint also makes it a practical choice where space is at a premium.
