The most important breakthrough in circuit breaker protection devices in a generation is here. Mack Electrical, a Taiwanese company, manufacturing electrical control gear in a state of the art factory in China have achieved a major breakthrough in the design of RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker Operator).
They have successfully designed and produced an RCBO which is exactly the same size as a single pole MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) and still has a 6KA rating. This achievement looks set to revolutionise the domestic and commercial circuit breaker markets
Nick-named the Super Safety Switch; huge savings are afforded to both the new and retrofit market.
In new installations, there is now no need to install a 2 or 4 pole safety switch as each Super Safety Switch offers earth leakage protection as well as being an over current circuit breaker. This allows for savings in space required when designing a load centre, savings in wiring costs and savings in installation labour costs.
In the retrofit market, savings are in the time taken to install the Super Safety Switch. This can be as high as an 80% time saving when compared to installing and wiring a 2 pole safety switch. Additional major savings occur by being able to use the existing load centre. Because the Super Safety Switch is the same size as the MCB it is replacing, no additional space is required.
The Mack Electrical Super Safety Switch is available in 10, 16, 20, 25 and 32 amp current ratings, it has a 6KA interrupting capacity, 30mA earth leakage trip setting, over voltage and surge protection, switches both the active and the neutral and is available now from; E.P.S. Electric Parts Supplies.
This is a timely introduction into the Australian market as recent legislative changes concerning rental properties and wiring rules (AS/NZS3000-2007) modifications make it a very cost effective alternative to the traditional 2 and 4 pole safety switches.
