Knockouts A wide selection of 20, 25, 32mm and large oval knockouts for rear entry making the boards easy to install and adaptable for any type of installation.
Surge protection PowerBreaker SPD boards have built-in Type 2 surge protection devices which prevent over-voltages in electrical circuits that can potentially damage electronic equipment such as TV’s, computers, washing machines, alarms etc. A Type 2 SPD is the main protections system for all low voltage electrical installations. It protects against over-voltages from switching and indirect lightning strikes. Installed in the consumer unit, it prevents the spread of over-voltages in electrical installations and protects the loads.

Type A RCDs PowerBreaker offers Type A RCDs that detect pulsating DC residual currents in addition to the detection characteristics of Type AC RCDs. In modern households, the goods connected to the consumer unit will be electronic equipment such as LED TV’s, multi-media systems, Laptops, EV chargers etc. which, if at fault, can cause a rush of DC current into the circuit.
RCBOs PowerBreaker RCBOs are Type A and rated 6kA. They feature Type B tripping characteristics (Instantaneous Tripping B Curve) for the protection of circuits with equipment that have low surge currents. GreenBrook’s RCBO’s also offer a longer cable length to help with installation.
