Eaton EAS6H80S Consumer Unit 6 Way 80A 30MA RCD Controlled Surface Mounted incl. 2-Pole 80A/30mA RCD

The new range of full metal consumer units provide a suite of products to meet the requirements of BS7671:2008 17th Edition IET wiring regulations amendment 3:2015. Regulation 421.1.201 has been introduced to contain a fire should one develop within a consumer unit, the fire igniting primarily as a result of poorly installed connections or faulty installed components. It requires that within domestic (household) premises, consumer units and similar switchgear assemblies shall comply with BS EN 61439-3 and must have their enclosure manufactured from non-combustible material. Otherwise, it should be enclosed within a cabinet or enclosure constructed of non-combustible material. This regulation effectively requires the use of a full metal consumer unit with the complete enclosure, i.e. the base, cover and door made from steel and will ultimately affect all new and rewired installations in homes referred to as domestic (household) premises which will include integral / attached garages and outbuildings in close proximity. Amendment 3 published in January 2015 will become effective on new and rewired installations designed after 30th June 2015, however clause 421.1.201 will have the later implementation date of 1st January 2016, although it does not preclude it being applied before then. • Sturdy steel enclosure with ample cable entry knockouts • Comes with multiple large apertures in rear face of enclosure • Comes in polyester powder coat paint finish • Accommodates cable entry from top, bottom or rear face of the enclosure • RAL 9010 (Pure white) • Complies with industry standards for low smoke density, flame propagation and toxic fume emission • Degree of protection IP 30. • RCD controlled full metal clad surface mounting consumer units
