TIMEGUARD RCD Single White Socket

The TIMEGUARD RCD Single White Socket offers a crucial layer of electrical safety for homes, workshops, and industrial environments. It provides vital protection against electric shocks and fire risks when using a wide range of equipment, from household appliances and power tools to gardening equipment and industrial machinery. As a dedicated RCD (Residual Current Device) socket, it is perfect for new installations or as a direct replacement for an existing socket, ensuring a safe power source anywhere it's needed.

This unit operates by continuously monitoring the integrity of the mains supply. It instantly detects potentially dangerous faults, such as earth leakage, and breaks the circuit within an impressive 40 milliseconds, significantly minimising the risk of injury. Its non-latching design requires a manual reset after a trip, which is essential for safety with power tools, preventing automatic restart.

Key Safety Features

• Fast-Acting Protection: Trips within 40ms of detecting a fault.
• Automatic Disconnection: Cuts off both Live and Neutral connections while keeping the earth connection intact.
• Integrated Test Button: Allows for regular, simple safety checks to ensure the device is functioning correctly.
• Robust Fault Detection: Maintains protection even if the Neutral connection is lost and is effective against pulsating DC earth fault currents.
• Power Loss Trip: Automatically trips out if the power supply is temporarily lost, adding another layer of safety.

Fully compliant with UK safety standards BS7288 and BS1363, this socket eliminates the need for separate plug-in RCD adaptors, providing a permanent, reliable, and convenient safety solution.
