Socket-Type Residual Current Device and Its Benefits

By using socket outlets with residual current device features, you can easily achieve maximum protection at the final point in homes and workplaces.

If your installation has the following problems, using socket outlets with residual current devices will be ideal for you.

1. There is no space in my fuse box for an additional residual current device.
2. The neutral and earth conductors are used jointly.
3. Without complying with color codes, the yellow-green cable is used as neutral; the blue cable is used as earth.
4. Because the cables are very old and poorly installed, there is a lot of leakage on them and the residual current device I installed keeps tripping.

There are 2 basic ways to solve these problems;

Renewing the entire electrical installation including the fuse box and dealing with high material costs and labor-intensive work to possibly install a brand-new surface-mounted installation instead of an in-wall installation

Or;

Buying a Gewiss socket that already has a 30 mA residual current device and easily replacing your old socket without even needing to call a technician.

In this case, without experiencing any of the handicaps mentioned above, you will easily replace your sockets with life-protection sockets, instantly understand which socket the problem originates from in case of any leakage, and save time by avoiding dangerous searches such as re-energizing faults one by one to find the load causing the leakage.

Our residual current sockets are Type A and are one level above general-purpose AC relays, providing 100% protection without causing unwanted tripping due to electronic loads in your home or office. Thanks to their covered structure, they are IP44 and can be safely used in humid or wet, dusty environments.

Socket-type residual current devices do not trip unintentionally during possible lightning discharges; additionally, you can easily apply the MPE Mini Type 3 LV Surge Protector system inside the socket. In this way, you establish both residual current and low-voltage surge protection systems at the final point. While your devices are protected against sudden grid surges, harmonics, and switching surges, you also protect people in the facility against possible leakages.

As Lightning Protection Center, we are pleased to offer you high value-added products in protection engineering, which is our field of expertise, for the protection of both people and devices.

Both residual current device sockets and surge protection systems for sockets are now in stock at Yılkomer.
