PRO ELEC PEL00414 13A Inline RCD (Rewireable), IP66

Used it for a Layze spa electrical supply . Good quality and robust - rcd works fine.

Easy to install and working fine.

I got this RCD to insert in the extension lead supplying our electric blanket. Our house was built before the regulations stipulated that RCDs needed to be installed and it is important to protect items that could pose a serious problem if an earth leakage occurred. Another thing this protects agains a design flaw in our particular blanket that results in it always turning on at full power. In the event of a power cut followed by restoration the blanket resets to maximum and cooks the sleeper. With this RCD a power outage trips it to the off position and it doesn’t automatically reset after restoration. This is exactly what you need for power tools, mowers and badly designed electric blankets, it is called an “active RCD”, and just what you don't need for freezers and fishtanks, where you need a “passive RCD” that doesn’t trip on power cuts.One thing that could be improved in this RCD is the indicator flag that shows whether to load is connected or not. This is a mechanical “flag”, not a light, so you need illumination to see it. I spent a minute or so peering at it in the dark before coming to this conclusion. Even with illumination it is difficult to see because it is very small and when in the OFF (BLACK) position half of the red flag is still visible. I have added a couple of photographs to show what mine looks like in the two positions.The RCD comes with its two cable grips and their four screws (the bright ones with attached washers) and the eight screws that secure the end caps, in a zip-lock bag. Make sure you have all these bits before you proceed to wire the RCD.Then instructions guide you in stripping the correct length of insulation off your wires; 25mm core exposed plus 10mm stripped - this worked for me. Remember to pass the cable through the gland with the nut attached or if the nut is loose slide it onto the wire before proceeding. I found it a tight squeeze getting the wires into the terminals and I would think this is even harder with fully rated 13A flex. To comply with the IP rating for waterproofing it is important to tighten the sealing glands so the grommet is pressed against the outer insulation of the cable - this needs to be done before fitting the end caps as they prevent the gland nut turning once in place. When fitting the end-cap it is important to ensure the sealing gasket around it is carefully lined up before you tighten the four screws to seal it.If carefully assembled this RCD should perform well in wet conditions. Providing you have assembled it carefully it is rated as IP66, indicating it is dust proof and protected against powerful jets of water.The design is rather “industrial” for a domestic environment, but where safety is an issue this is a secondary concern.

Quality product & quick delivery

Got my MSPA hot tub working again easy DIY job

Great quality product highly recommend

The housing on my Layz spa god damaged and water got in so needed to replace it, this was a great replacement, good quality easy to fit. Would recommend to anyone that needs the same.

Indicator light doesn't work, RCD works fine, I noticed someone else stated this too, but I thought it may have just been a issue with that one but my has the same fault.I tested the rcd trip time with a Multi function tester and rcd is with in limits.But the indicator light is my only problem with this product.
