Timeguard TPS204 Outdoor RCD Socket

The Timeguard TPS204 Outdoor RCD Socket has been manufactured from tough, durable thermoplastic. It is intended for use in an outdoor environment, or one in which the protection provided by the range is required.

It is rated IP55, for protection against water and dust. The Timeguard TPS204 Outdoor will need to be fitted with waterproof cable or conduit entries to maintain their IP rating once installed.

The single purpose 13A socket outlet is protected be the RCD switch should a sort circuit in a piece of equipment is detected and then trips. The power supply is temporarily lost and unit has to be reset. This unit provides additional protection from electric shocks in an outdoor environment. Ideal for the control of lights, pond pumps, fountains and other permanent features.

The RCD is a non latching version. If set, it allows the contacts to open if the mains supply is interrupted, a safety must for applications such as gardening and power tools.

The RCD unit fully complies with BS7288 and the socket outlet to BS1363. The combined unit provides protection against fire hazard and rapid double pole disconnection from electric shock for the appliance and cable connected to it.
