Portable charging with both residual-current types

Both products here are about charging a car from a socket that was not built for it.

The safety figures

Type A at 30 mA and DC at 6 mA, both named, with a millisecond response.

That second figure is the one that matters. An electric vehicle can leak a small direct current, and DC leakage blinds an ordinary Type A device in the consumer unit — it simply stops protecting. A cable carrying its own 6 mA DC detection covers what the house cannot.

Two temperature sensors

One in the plug, one in the control unit.

Charging from a household socket for eight hours is the commonest way a home charging setup fails: old wiring, a worn contact, nobody watching. A sensor that throttles or stops is what stands between that and something worse.

Adjustable current

6 A to 16 A. Turn it down when the oven is on, up overnight. On a house with wiring of uncertain age, that is a protection rather than a convenience.

The dependency

Scheduling runs through an app, with over-the-air updates. Useful, and an app that stops being maintained takes that half with it.

    • Both residual current types named with their trip levels: Type A 30 mA and DC 6 mA
    • Two independent temperature sensors, on the plug and on the control unit
    • The app is a dependency for the scheduling function

    Best for: Charging from a household socket where the wiring is old and the tariff varies.
