Both the IEC and UL prioritize personal safety in EV charging leakage current protection. Still, their implementation paths differ: IEC focuses on the coordination of RCDs for both AC and DC components, requiring more detailed fault type detection; UL emphasizes closed-loop detection of the CCID, stressing the ability to interrupt fault current.
