Safer installations with Elucian’s Type B HP Bi-Directional RCCB


C C


lick Scolmore has announced the launch of the Elucian Type B Heat Pump (HP) Bi-Directional RCCB, a high specification protective device designed to protect people and equipment by disconnecting the power supply when excess leakage current to earth is detected.


The new Elucian Type B HP RCCB builds on the capabilities of a standard Type B device by delivering enhanced sensitivity at higher frequencies. While a conventional Type B RCCB detects pure direct current from 0Hz upwards and alternating current leakage up to 1kHz, the Type B HP extends detection capability to 20kHz. This significantly broader detection range provides reliable protection in installations where high frequency leakage currents are present Enhancing Elucian’s growing circuit protection portfolio offerings, this advanced RCCB helps prevent electric shock and potential fire hazards, making it suitable for advanced residual current protection for modern high-performance electrical installations. Designed to detect high-frequency and DC leakage currents that standard RCCBs might miss, the new Type B HP provides reliable protection for these increasingly complex circuits.


Key features of the Type B HP Bi-Directional RCCB include: • Detects leakage up to 20kHz • •


True DC detection from 0Hz Designed for inverter-driven loads • Minimum tripping threshold of 150mA for frequencies above 1kHz


The Elucian Type B RCCB is suitable for use across a wide range of applications, including EV charging installations, HVAC systems, elevators, pumps and heat pumps, and CNC machinery. It is also fully compatible with Elucian consumer units and Three Phase Boards, ensuring seamless integration within the Elucian range.

Advanced Launches New CPD on Smoke Control Systems


A


dvanced has expanded its Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme with the launch of a new course focused on smoke control systems and their role in protecting life and property.


Titled Smoke Control Systems: Principles, Pitfalls and Protection, the free CPD has been developed


to provide consultants, specifiers, fire engineers, installers, facilities managers and other fire safety professionals with a practical understanding of smoke control strategies, system types and compliance requirements. The module explores the principles of smoke movement and the importance of smoke control in supporting safe evacuation, firefighting access and property protection. Attendees will gain insight into natural and mechanical smoke ventilation systems, smoke exhaust and pressurisation methods, as well as the key components used within smoke control systems. The CPD also examines the standards and regulations that govern smoke control design and


maintenance, including Approved Document B, BS EN 12101, BS 7346-8, BS 9991 and BS 9999. Alongside this, the course highlights common design, installation and maintenance pitfalls, helping attendees better understand best practice approaches and long-term compliance responsibilities. Delivered online by Shaun Scott, Applications Engineer at Advanced, the CPD forms part of the


company’s ongoing commitment to supporting industry education and improving fire safety knowledge across the sector. Shaun said: “Smoke control systems play a critical role in modern fire safety strategies, particularly in


complex and high-rise buildings where maintaining clear escape routes is essential. This CPD has been designed to provide practical, real-world guidance on the principles behind smoke control systems, the challenges involved in their design and maintenance, and the standards that govern them.” “By helping industry professionals strengthen their understanding of smoke control, we can support


them in designing better systems and delivering improved compliance, ultimately creating safer buildings.” All Advanced CPDs are certified by the CPD Certification Service, with attendees receiving a certificate of attendance upon successful completion. The new smoke control CPD joins


Advanced’s growing portfolio of educational modules, including Introduction to Fire Detection & Alarm Systems, Managing False Fire Alarms: Tools & Techniques, and A Guide to Meeting BS 8629. To find out more or book a place,
