Product Finder Modular Contactors join Elucian consumer unit range
New to Scolmore’s Elucian consumer unit range is a range of 2 Pole (20A) or 4 Pole (25A, 40A and 63A) Modular Contactors in a variety of Normally Open or Normally Closed contact configurations compatible with the Elucian range of Consumer Units.
A contactor is an electrically controlled switch similar to a relay – essentially a low voltage circuit component used for switching a higher-current electrical power circuit (more than 15 amps or a few kw). It can be connected directly to devices with a high load, as it has rapid open and closing features designed to control and suppress the electrical arc discharged when a heavy motor current is interrupted. The new Elucian 2 Pole 20A Modular Contactors are 18mm width and will take up 1 space / way inside a consumer unit. The Elucian 4 Pole 25A Modular Contactors are 36mm width and will take up 2 spaces / ways inside a consumer unit. The Elucian 4 Pole 40A and 63A Modular Contactors are 54mm width and will take up 3 spaces/ways inside a consumer unit.

“Testing ring final circuit has always been complicated and fiddly, and consequently it is time consuming,” says Brendan Beaver, manager of Metrel UK, the innovator of electrical test solutions. “Metrel has found a method of making it simpler and much faster, to ease your load.
“In fact we think it could save you up to 60% 0f the time it takes to measure r1, rn, r2 and R1
+ RN, and R1 + R2. And it makes the process almost pleasurable.”
“What we have is a new adapter and firmware. To use it, you null all the test leads and croc clips, and then connect the incoming and outgoing lives, neutrals and PEs. Connect the tester and start the test. Initially it gives you r1, rn and r2.
“Next the tester is disconnected and the adapter is left at the board. The tester and its BS1363 plug test lead are taken around the circuit. It locates the socket with the highest R1+R2 and R1+RN reading and the measurement is taken. The results can be saved for later certification.
“This revolutionary adapter, A 2214, really is the productive man’s ring continuity tester.”
