ev Feeder Pillars

EV charging feeder pillars and enclosures form part of the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and are necessary for installing an EV charging point.

Ritherdon enclosures for EV charging can be used in both new and retrofit applications. The multipurpose enclosures are manufactured from stainless steel and available in a large range of sizes to suit any LV power distribution project.

Ritherdon EV Pillars & Enclosures

Ritherdon manufactures a full range of EV enclosures and feeder pillars, designed for all types of electric vehicle charging points. From large RMC enclosures for rapid charging to hinged RH pillars for standard installations, Ritherdon provides options to suit your EV infrastructure needs.


RMC Enclosures

The largest enclosures in the EV pillar range, RMC enclosures are available in various sizes, accommodating different depths and heights to suit electrical equipment. They are recommended for rapid EV charging points to future-proof infrastructure.

EV Pillar Width (mm) Depth (mm) Max Height (mm) Backboard (mm) Door Configuration
RMC 2100 2100 800 2000 1770 x 2002 Double
RMC 1600 1600 800 1770 1770 x 1502 Single
RMC 1250 1250 600 1770 1770 x 1152 Single

Maximum custom sizes: 2300 mm wide, 1150 mm deep, 2292 mm high. RMC enclosures are designed around end-user requirements.


RB Cabinet Range

Commonly used single-door cabinets include RB800 and RB1000, ideal for powering fast-charging EV pumps. For example, an RB1000 powers an Ecotricity Electric Highway pump at Jct18/19 Heywood, Greater Manchester (OL10 2RB), with three connector types and a maximum output of 50kW.


RH Pillar Range

Hinged feeder pillars are widely used in EV networks. Common sizes include RH300, RH400, and RH500. Examples of installations include RH300 at Horwich, Bolton (GMEV network) and RH500 with higher voltage power output.

Hinged EV Pillar Height (mm) Width (mm) Depth (mm) Base Plate Width (mm) Base Plate Depth (mm) Backboard Width (mm) Backboard Depth (mm)
RH300 1060 300 170 380 210 280 580
