Chunky white wiring accessories are a thing of the past. But with so many providers offering various finishes and styles how does a range set itself apart from the rest?
One hundred years ago John Ashworth Crabtree designed and patented a quick make and quick break switch.
To help designers and installers comply with the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations Crabtree has launched a range of AFDDs (Arc Fault Detection Devices) that fit into any new or existing installation with a Starbreaker consumer unit.
Electrium, the UK’s leading electrical group, home to brands like Crabtree, Wylex and Volex Accessories will be exhibiting at all ELEX Shows this autumn.
Tridonic has launched a new series of sensors that can detect both motion and ambient light. Developed in accordance with the IEC-62386-103 standard and prepared for certification by the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA), the sensors are suitable for commercially available DALI-2 controllers and can easily be integrated into lighting and building management systems.
It goes without saying that electrical installation work in a home must be designed and installed to protect people from fire and electric shocks, but what about the garden? Given the greater risk of electric shock outdoors, there’s a need to protect homeowners outdoors, too.
USB charging opens up further with Crabtree’s new Metalclad socket
The robust shape and composition of Crabtree’s new Metalclad Dual USB socket-outlet makes it perfect to fit in a variety of applications, bringing a wider choice of USB socket outlets to the market.
Busy office spaces have very specific requirements when it comes to electrical accessories, but by understanding these needs, and how they can be addressed, electricians can tap into a lucrative new income stream for their business.
