Timeguard Valiance Metalclad Twin RCD Socket, Active

The Timeguard Valiance Metalclad Twin RCD Socket provides a robust and reliable solution for protecting both people and appliances in demanding environments. This twin socket outlet with an integrated residual current device (RCD) is designed to simply replace an existing twin socket, offering two protected switched outlets without the need for complex rewiring. Its strong metal construction makes it particularly suitable for factories and other industrial settings where protection against electric shock and fire hazards is essential.

The built-in RCD offers extra fast action, tripping out within 40 milliseconds when a fault is detected. This rapid response helps to protect appliances from potential fire hazards and reduces the risk of electric shock. The device automatically disconnects both live and neutral connections in the event of a fault, while keeping the earth connection intact for continued safety. A built-in test button allows for routine safety checks to ensure the device is functioning correctly.

This RCD socket provides continued protection even in challenging conditions. It remains effective with a lost neutral and continues to safeguard against pulsating DC earth fault currents. It also trips out when the power supply is temporarily lost, making it ideal for machine tool applications where unexpected re-energising could be dangerous.

Complying with both BS7288 and BS1363 standards, the Timeguard Valiance Metalclad Twin RCD Socket delivers dependable performance and peace of mind. With a 230V voltage rating, a 30mA trip current, and a 40ms trip time, it offers a high level of safety for a wide range of applications.
