In the home, workshop or outdoors, any factors such as dampness,

faulty wiring, frayed cords and other hazards can contribute towards a

potentially lethal situation when using electric irons, extension leads, lawn

mowers, hedge trimmers and other electrical equipment and appliances.

Protector residual current device (RCD) products provide personal

protection against electrocution from live to earth faults.

For added safety, the electronic sensing device within Protector

products becomes active only when the reset button is pressed.

For convenience the reset button is located on the face plate of all

products. All Protector products also feature double pole switching

for extra safety.

Protector sockets are available in both mains dependent (trip out on

loss of supply) and non mains dependent (do not trip out on loss of

supply) variants, thus giving the installer the choice to fit products to

individual specification.

RECOMMENDED QUANTITY OF SOCKETOUTLETS FOR DOMESTIC INSTALLATIONS

An installation may have too few socket outlets or the existingsocket outlets may be incorrectly situated. Both conditions aresymptomatic of an inadequate installation which could lead topotentially dangerous improvisation.

The following is a summary of the recommendations of theElectrical Installation Industry Liaison Committee.All socketoutlets should be of the twin switched type.

56The information in the table is a guide tothe user of lampholders marked T1 or T2with tungsten filament lamps, although itshould be appreciated that the criticalfactor is the actual temperature of the capof the lamp when in use.Technicalinformation on such temperatures iscontained in this specification and in BSEN 60598-1. It is also important to ensurethat the wattage rating of the lamp is nothigher than that for which the particularshade or luminaire is designed.Thismaximum rating in watts is marked on allshades and luminaires that comply withBS4533: Part 101.The recommendations in the table refer to typical conditions, in single lamp luminaires or installations, and inmulti lamp luminaires having widelyspaced lamps.Where lamps are in closeproximity to each other, or in totallyenclosed luminaires, it is recommendedthat T2 lampholders are used.

SBC Small bayonet cap (international type B15d)

BC Standard bayonet cap (international type B22d)

T1 Lampholder suitable for conditions up to a lamp captemperature of 165°C

T2 Lampholder suitable for conditions up to a lamp captemperature of 210°C

Closed shade Shade open at one end only and generallymounted directly on the lampholder

Open shade Shade open at both ends, and generallymounted on the lampholder by a wire frame

Cap up Position of lamp, typically when suspended fromthe ceiling by a flexible cord

Cap down Position of lamp, typically when fitted on astandard or table lamp

Where two symbols are shown together, as inB15d-T1/T2 or B22d-T2, there is no restriction onthe type of shade or the position of the lamp,provided the maximum working temperatures arenot exceeded

If in doubt regarding the choice of any lampholder,always use one marked T2

All units are supplied complete with factoryfitted main switch and/or RCCB, topmounted neutral and earth bars, associatedbusbars, Installation Instructions and circuitidentification labels.

In split-load units the main switch is fittedon the left of the unit and the RCCB on theright making theselection of split between RCCB and themain switch easier to configure on site.

All outgoing MCBs fit securely onto full DINrail with main connections made by meansof a specially designed comb busbar whichcan be cut to length required.

This method enables the installer toassemble units to suit the circuitrequirements of each installation and affordsmaximum flexibility.
