A standard 32a rcbo do the trick ?

I'm no sparks but that's rated at 40A (type C). The early Rolec chargers had crappy MCBs - check the EV forum for more reports of this.

That is a 40A RCBO. The reason it won't reset is likely because there is a fault on the circuit - if that is the case then it is working exactly as it should. Replacing it with a new RCBO may not fix the problem and the fault would need to be rectified.

Incidentally the cables feeding that device look like they are far too small be be protected by it as the RCBO is rated at 40A and the cable looks to be 4 mm sq. at most.

Yeah it’s a 40amp rcbo c type. it’s rare the issue with things is a faulty breaker.

In my experience of Rolec EV chargers it's usually an issue with the contactor going faulty rather than the RCBO

update:

my ev hyundai had an issue when this went last week.
a charging port actuator had to be replaced, to let the car charge again

repalced that rcbo and all is good again.
not sure what caused the rcbo to go, faulty or car issued damaged it, but fixed now.

thx
