It is critical that electrical installations are protected and comply with the updated standards and wiring rules AS/NZS3000

In residential installations, all circuits will now be required to be protected by 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD). This now includes hard wired devices such as hot water systems, ovens and air conditioning systems. NHP have you covered with a complete range of Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCBO) and RCD devices to suit these needs with the NHP MOD6 range offering:

• 6kA fault level • 6A to 40A current ratings RCBOs • 40A to 63A current ratings RCCBs • 10mA & 30mA sensitives • 1P, 2P and 3P&N • Switched neutral and un-switched neutral options.

Not only have requirements for residential installations changed but there are also changes for non-residential installations. Formerly, socket outlets and lighting up to 20A required RCD protection, however this has now increased up to and including 32A. All fixed wiring equipment up to and including 32A should now have a 30mA RCD fitted. To ensure these requirements are met, NHP have complete range of RCBO and RCD devices with the NHP DIN-T offering:

• 6kA and 10kA fault levels • 6A to 40A current ratings RCBOs • 40A to 125A current ratings RCCBs • 10mA, 30mA, 100mA & 300mA sensitives • 1P, 2P, 3P and 3P&N The MOD6 range is purpose designed for domestic and commercial installations, providing the perfect complete switchboard solution. • Switched neutral and un-switched neutral options.

Simplify installation with wiring solutions from NHP
