When looks matter and ease of installation is essential, NM "L Series" consumer units with SPD fitted, make your life easier. With cable entries on all sides and a raised removable interior, there's lots of working space.
Miniature RCBOs give you lots of extra wiring space in the consumer unit, which makes it easier to manage cables and make your connections.
Individual dwellings might not need protection against overvoltages IF the value of the installation and equipment does not justify it. But how much is a typical house full of equipment and appliances worth? Protection from an SPD costs a fraction of the potential loss.
Harmful effects of heat or fire may arise from overcurrent, insulation faults, arcs sparks and high temperature particles. Arc fault detection devices are recommended for the purpose of providing additional protection against fires caused by arc faults in 230A AC final circuits. (see chapters 13 & 42)

Don’t let overvoltages interrupt important public services, SPDs can prevent damage to sensitive equipment and help to maintain availability of important services 24/7 so that we can all benefit from the vital networks in our communities.
The new regulations in 18th edition call for overvoltage protection to be provided in several types of location. Factory fitted SPDs can save you time and money on site.

Whether it’s an 800 amp Panel-board with up to 18 outgoing ways, including four pole options, or an 800 amp switch fuse for a single sub main circuit. Wylex have the products for your commercial and industrial installation projects.
Moulded case circuit breakers with adjustable settings and options for earth leakage, shunt trip, under-voltage release, and more. The new Wylex MCCBs can easily accommodate accessories for control and monitoring applications.
It’s easy to select and create your own off the shelf power distribution solutions with our panel board selection chart, but if you prefer it we can custom build to your client specification. It’s what we do.
Our UK based R&D teams create installer friendly solutions like compact enclosures that fit into smaller spaces than before while also delivering more power than before. Designed tested and built in the UK with Siemens circuit protection technology inside.
A 10% reduction in electrical fires has been reported in countries where arc fault devices are mandated such as USA.
More than 7,500 fires are recorded yearly in England with the source of ignition as electrical distribution, cables and plugs.

Arc fault detection devices (AFDDs) detect electric arc faults that MCBs, RCDs and RCBOs cannot detect. Therefore a safety gap exists.
Wylex AFDDs include MCB and RCD functions to cater for the full requirements of the wiring regulations including arc faults, thereby closing the safety gap.
Total isolation of faulty circuits without interrupting power on any other circuits, a safer way to wait for the emergency electrician.
Using switched neutral RCBOs fully complies with Chapter 31 requirements for - division of the installation, avoiding danger, minimising inconvenience, preventing unwanted tripping and permits safe testing and maintenance.
Switching off a Wylex miniature RCBO isolates the live and neutral, which more than complies with Health & Safety standards for safe working if equipment needs changing or additions are being made.
Ratings from 6A to 40A to cater for heavy loads e.g. showers and cookers as well as lighting and general power circuits. There's even a 25A rating.
