The new enclosures are designed to accommodate the compact RCBO devices, which are just slightly wider than standard MCB's, whilst taking up as little space as possible. RCBO source controllers provide residual current protection of lighting circuits channel by channel, and are suitable for protection of wet location circuits such as bathrooms and exterior lighting.
"iLight has provided custom RCBO solutions to customers for years, but these additions will help bring down the cost of compliance to the UK 17th Edition Electrical Regulations," John Thorne, iLight UK sales director comments. "The new RCBO source controllers deliver a solution that is cost-effective, easier to install with their smaller enclosure size, and provides the flexibility to upgrade RCBO's on extra channels in the field at a later date."
For projects requiring a fully configurable solution, iLight will continue to supply custom solution racks that can be specified with RCBO parts installed alongside standard breakers solution.
