RCD-protected two-gang switched socket-outlets in flush, surface and flat-plate format are now available in Eaton’s latest MEMSTYLE range for applications where the circuit supplying the socket-outlet is not protected upstream by a residual current device or where tripping discrimination is required at the socket outlet.
RCD-protected socket-outlets
RCD sockets offer protection against electrocution for users of electrical equipment. They are extremely useful in locations where more local protection avoids loss of complete circuits, and they also help reduce the risk of fires caused by earth faults in older equipment connected through the socket-outlet.
The MEMSTYLE RCD-protected socket-outlets are available with 10mA or 30mA sensitivity as active or passive devices. Active units must be re-set after any interruption to the power supply. Passive units have contacts that remain closed through an interruption to the power supply.
