Expanding on the BG Single Phase Circuit Protection range introduced earlier this year, UK manufacturer British General (BG) has announced the launch of its new BG Dual Row Circuit Protection, designed for larger domestic and light commercial applications.
Available in two size options – a 36 module and a 48 module – both come supplied with a 100A main switch as standard.
Fresh design
The updated Type 2 single module SPD eliminates the need for extra MCB protection, freeing up an additional circuit way.
Meanwhile, the new MCB-style blanks, a rear clip-in cable protector, and an updated grommet strip contribute to what the company describes as a “neater and more organised installation.”
An elongated lifting section on the lid visor, as well as a lid retainer, should also make accessing devices and labelling easier.
Options for expansion
With flexibility and expansion in mind, the BG Circuit Protection range is designed to make installations easier.
With other devices and accessories available, there are options to upgrade or expand systems to accommodate solar energy integration and EV charging, aiming to ensure customers are ready for future demands.
The BG Dual Row consumer unit gives the ability to be standard, dual tariff, or bespoke configured to support both electrician and prosumer applications.
A focus on installation
Four rows of enlarged oval knock-outs at the rear, alongside 40mm knock-outs on the sides, top, and bottom, aim to provide greater adaptability.
A new DIN rail design offers a more secure device engagement, while the offset incomer, larger busbar cover, and updated label sheet hope to provide a better installation experience for installers.
The BG Circuit Protection range is CE-approved and third-party certified for reliability, backed by a 10-year guarantee and a UK-based technical support team available via phone or email.
Philip Grove, Product Manager for BG Circuit Protection, comments, “The launch of the new Dual Row Circuit Protection expands on the recently enhanced BG Circuit Protection range, providing installers with greater choice and flexibility.
“BG is always looking for ways to innovate and improve functionality whilst also meeting the demand for evolving electrical needs – this new addition to the circuit protection range gives superior protection for the future.”
BG is part of the Luceco Group, which also includes the Sync Energy and Masterplug brands as well as commercial and domestic lighting.
