Scolmore adds EBBs to Medical Solutions range
Scolmore introduces a new range of Equipotential Bonding Busbars (EBBs).
I
n accordance with the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018 AMD2 Section 710 (Medical Locations) and the Health Technical Memorandum HTM06 01:2017, all Group 1 and 2 Medical Locations are to have an Equipotential Bonding Busbar (EBB) and associated supplementary protective equipotential bonding installed. The EBB plays a major role in ensuring patient and clinician safety, as a key component of the supplementary protective equipotential bonding system which is designed to substantially reduce touch voltages between exposed and extraneous conductive parts located within or that may be moved into the patient environment of Group 1 and 2 medical locations.
The product development team at Scolmore identified the need for an EBB that offered a simple design, with an easy to terminate layout and
featured the right number of terminations for their applications within different medical locations. The result is the launch of an 18 connection Type 1 EBB and 40 connection Type 2 EBB. In keeping with Amendment 2 of the 18th edition (BS 7671:2018+A2:2022) requirement for infection control, the EEBs are supplied with a smooth, flat, one-piece lid with semi recessed cover screws and rounded corners that provides an easy to clean surface.
Key features and benefits of the Scolmore EBB include: •
• • •
Meeting the latest BS 7671 18th edition electrical installation regulations - Amendment 2 infection control requirement. Tested to BS 61439-1.
Suitability for use in any medical environments.

New Sangamo colours T
he full range of Sangamo Timer Controllers, Thermostats, Programmable Thermostats and Programmers is now all available in a choice of three colours, with silver and black added to the original white finish – taking the full range up to 30 individual product lines. ESP believes this will satisfy a fast growing demand among end users and building owners for a departure from the usual white finish to add a more stylish look to an interior setting. Energy efficiency remains at the top of the agenda for the economy, businesses and householders. The Sangamo range of heating controls offers features that will assist with efficiency and performance and will ultimately help drive down energy usage and costs – a critical consideration for consumers at a time when energy prices continue to rise. The Timers collection of products is 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. The Thermostats range of products - designed for controlling heating systems via an electronic sensor – now totals five products. The Programmable Thermostat products are 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 programmable thermostats include an optimization feature; Optimum Start/Delay Start and Optimum Stop, for extra efficiency.
