Collingwood’s Specifiers’ Guide to Emergency Lighting


C


Coloured Connector Blocks added to the Click Essentials range


A


new collection of Coloured Connector Blocks has been added


to Click Scolmore’s comprehensive Essentials range, offering improved safety, convenience and functionality for electrical installations. Commonly referred to as Service


Connector Blocks, they are essential components used to split and connect mains meter tails from the electricity meter to one or more consumer units within a building. This provides a secure and reliable connection point for power distribution in both residential and commercial areas. The new Connector Blocks are colour- coded in brown, black, grey, blue, green, and pink to allow easy identification of phase, neutral, and earth conductors. This is useful in minimising and preventing installation errors and improving on-site safety. The Connector Blocks complement the


broader Essentials range, which is designed to provide contractors with high-quality, reliable solutions for everyday electrical installations. www.scolmore.com


ollingwood Lighting has produced a specifiers’ and installers’ guide to emergency lighting to help ensure


compliance and safe evacuation of a building. The guide explores factors that can influence the specification, such as who is likely to be in the building, their age, awareness of and familiarity with the layout, what tasks they may be doing and the type of building. It goes on to to explore the different technologies and products


available and what to select for different applications. The final section deals with designing a compliant system to ensure that it is fit for purpose and helps people get to a place of safety. Product manager Anthony Martindale said: “Designing a compliant


emergency lighting scheme is not a one stop solution. It is based on a full risk analysis and involves working closely with the building owner or person who is responsible for the occupants’ safety.” https://online.flippingbook.com/view/332309465/18/


New Consumer Unit range by Axiom T


he new Vault consumer range from Axion features both standard and surge


protection consumer units, garage/shower units as well as the normal supporting items: RCBOs, MCBs, RCDs plus contactors and timers. Two high profile new additions meet the specific needs of relatively new, fast-growing sectors of the market. Firstly, for the EV market, the Vault range includes 6-way, fully-loaded Consumer Units recommended to ensure electrical safety; simplify future maintenance or upgrades; and comply with current wiring regulations. EV chargers typically draw high, continuous loads, and a dedicated consumer unit helps to isolate this load from the main circuits in the property, reducing the risk of overloading and minimising nuisance tripping of other circuits. Secondly, the addition of new bi-directional RCBOs, which are particularly useful in


installations with renewable energy sources such as solar power systems and wind turbines. Such systems often involve bi-directional current flows where these RCBOs provide enhanced safety by being able to detect faults in both directions. www.cedelectrical.co.uk


Legrand launches fire tested, PG cable ladder L


egrand has unveiled its new pre- galvanised (PG) ladder, a cable


management solution designed to meet growing demand for resilient cable management systems for critical facilities such as data centres. Legrand’s PG ladder has industry leading


fire credentials, having undergone rigorous independent testing, on top of the mandatory testing to BS EN 61537. As there is no mandatory fire test for cable management systems in the UK, the new PG ladder was put


through its paces and tested to the German standard DIN4102-12 - the product showing its ability to withstand collapse for up to two hours in temperatures exceeding 1,000C. Made in Britain, the PG ladder is up to 7%


lighter than the hot dip galvanised version, which simplifies handling and installation and contributes to reduced energy consumption during transportation. The PG ladder is suited to a variety of environments where uninterrupted power supply and maintaining critical infrastructure are essential.


With a focus on reliability, safety and ease of installation, new PG ladder reinforces Legrand’s commitment to delivering practical, dependable cable management solutions. www.legrand.co.uk
