Scolmore enters the consumer unit market
offer in the wiring accessories category and brings to market a comprehensive Consumer Unit and Circuit Protection range - ‘Elucian by Click’. The launch follows months of extensive research and consultation with contractors to come up with a range of products that best suits their requirements and that are compliant with the latest regulations. It means that wholesalers and installers now have access to a one-stop shop for everything wiring accessories related from one of the industry’s most trusted and reliable brands, and Scolmore has made a significant investment to ensure that stock levels of the new products are high to meet the anticipated demand. Elucian is an extensive range of metal consumer units

he result of Scolmore’s latest new product development programme completes the company’s
with push-fit Flow connectors which feature push-in, low maintenance terminals to offer another time-saving benefit for installers. In a speed test carried out by Ovia, installation times were compared for these fast fit connectors, versus the equivalent screw terminal versions and typically the fast-fit versions were completed in around half the time. Products that incorporate Ovia’s award-winning Flameguard system technology, benefit from a 30, 60 & 90
minute fire rating - including I joists, metal web joists and solid timber. They also have an acoustic rating (0dB) and are airflow compliant..

attery storage systems store excess energy produced by Renewable Energy systems such as
PV or Wind and store it for use when needed. This counterbalances the fluctuation between energy production and demand for electricity. The importance of such equipment makes interruption of their service unacceptable, so measures must be taken to limit damage due to external influences. One of the risks to be taken into account is possible damage due to transient overvoltage’s generated by lightning or by switching operations. Specialist manufacturers of Battery Storage Equipment have noted a reduced robustness in impulse overvoltage of this type of equipment’s – particularly in battery systems - and due to the imperative need for continuity of service they recommend the use of surge protectors at their terminals. Due to the maximum DC operating voltage often being very high (1000 Vdc and more), an SPD correctly specified for the application is
necessary and for it to be compatible with these voltages and in conformity with the forth coming IEC61643-41. Due to the unique characteristics of Battery Energy Storage systems, standard DC or PV SPD’s are not suitable for use with this type application due to the potentially extremely high short circuit current (up to 100kA or more). Citel have designed from the ground up the
DDC50S-21Y specifically for Battery Energy Storage Systems. The DDC50S-21Y is a Type 2 SPD available with either 500, 800, 1200 or 1500VDC Max operating Voltage (Uc), an In (Nominal Discharge current) of 20kA, an Imax of 50kA and importantly an Admissible short-circuit current (Isccr) of 100,00A. It is DIN rail mounted and as such easy to install in any standardized distribution panel or control cabinets.

Timers - designed for simplistic ON/OFF manual or scheduled control for heating and lighting applications. The range has been expanded with a total of three new products, each one introducing the addition of a fused spur switch for additional protection for high loads.
Thermostats - designed for controlling heating system via an electronic sensor – now totals five products.
Programmable Thermostat products - designed for controlling heating applications via an electronic sensor or programmed schedule, and ESP has added one new product to this range. All thermostat products have been upgraded and now offer TPI (Time Proportional and Integral) control for heating efficiency. In addition, the programable thermostats include an optimization feature; Optimum Start/Delay Start and Optimum Stop, for extra efficiency.
