NEW PRODUCTS FOR GARDEN AND POWER TOOL RETAILERS

Two new RCD safety sockets, launched by Cudis under the CPN brand, offer new opportunities for hardware and garden retailers.  Outlets that sell outdoor electrical equipment can benefit themselves and their customers by also offering these critical safety devices that shut of power in a fraction of a second if there is a short circuit.

Designed in the UK to meet local conditions, the units offer class-leading quality, value and good margins for resellers.  They are presented in attractive clear display packs that fit standard racking.  Point-of-sale counter displays are also available to increase attention.

The twin 13A sockets give protection for anyone operating UK standard 240v 50Hz power tools or garden equipment.  Units have plastic face plates for domestic situations or have impact resisting metal enclosures for garage, utility or workshop use. 

Safety is a critical issue and the units will trip in less than 40 milliseconds when the differential between live or neutral exceeds 30 milliamps.  Test and reset buttons enable performance to be verified.  Units comply with BS7288 while design and manufacture takes place in ISO 9000 quality assured factories.

The units are easy to wire.  Part P of the Building Regulations permits DIY installation where the unit is a direct replacement for an existing socket.  New installations must be done by a qualified electrician.  The metal clad unit comes with its own enamelled steel back box to match the faceplate.  This has knockout apertures for connection to electrical conduit. 

RCD Sockets are just part of the expanding CPN range of electrical systems from Cudis that are designed for safety, performance and value.
