Page 3: Safety Instructions
CAUTION: PLEASE OBSERVE THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND LEGAL NOTES Installation requirements for electrical equipment and EVSE vary by country and jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the installer/user of this product to ensure that legal installation requirements are met. In the UK, this product must be installed and used by a competent and qualified person who will ensure the equipment adheres to the IEE wiring regulations BS7671 (18th Edition or later) and current Building regulations. - Page 4 Issue 1.2 May 2020 EVSE Protocol Controller 2.0 (EPC 2.0) | Viridian EV DESCRIPTION 3.1 OVERVIEW OF THE EPC 2.0 The EPC 2.0 is a DIN rail mounted control module for IEC 61851 compatible EV charge points. Key features include RCM support and PEN Loss detection, helping charge point manufacturers and installers meet regulations in a cost-effective way and protect against electric shock in the unlikely event of an earth and neutral fault problem.

- Page 6 It is up to the user creating the EVSE using an EPC 2.0 to understand if it is a single phase or three phase installation and apply the requirements of BS 7671: 2018 amendment 1 accordingly.
- Page 7 Important note: RCM not installed If no RCM device is being used in the EVSE then this functionality needs to be disabled as per the configuration table in this document, reference section ( 4.1. ) 3.5 SELECTABLE CHARGING CURRENT ( IC ) Selecting charging current on installation The EPC 2.0 can be configured to restrict the maximum current available to charge the EV on installation of the device .
- Page 8 3.6 FUNCTION APPLICATION EXAMPLE The following shows a schematic application example of an electric vehicle charge point / EVSE assembled with a EPC 2.0. For example, application option A shows a Type A RCD, an MCB and the 16A / 32A contactor. Application example B shows a RCBO (Type A, C curve) and a 16A / 32A contactor.
