FDB power protection devices for custom panel buildings

1 min read

FDB Electrical has claimed that its power protection panels are well known for their effectiveness and reliability – less so perhaps the availability of the specialist components.

Managing director Gary Miles explained that these components enable electrical engineers to install their own power protection and/or earth monitoring circuits in housings of their choice to suit applications from domestic through industrial/office to MOD ready.

He pointed out that “as part of our commitment to electrical protection technologies the component range includes an online, ex-stock program of panel mounting components including RCDs, Earth Continuity Monitors and special-purpose electrical protection devices.”

These comply with BS4293 and come in both AC and DC types. Components offer Multi-range protection levels including pre-set and user-adjustable types. Their Solid-state circuitry provides immunity to voltage transients and DC components and associated core balance transformers are available in a range of sizes, and a Panel meter is available (EFU10/M).

Protective devices available from FDB include fully adjustable multi-function RCD’s, variable earth leakage relays, percentage earth fault relays together with a range of external toroidal CT’s up to 240mm diameter. Where a customer does not wish to produce the housed system themselves then FDB offer custom built panels and bespoke solutions designed and manufactured in-house to suit virtually any industrial application – they are proud to supply the UK Defence forces and support industries with this specialist protection equipment.

Elsewhere, FDB launched its Rocfast customer service programme to guide engineers and buyers through the process of lock specification, component matching and ordering.

The guide also provides guidance on assembly, packaging, and worldwide logistics – delivering directly to the site.

The FDB Rocfast program specialises in lock assemblies, covering all major industry brands. By simplifying the typically complex process of specifying and assembling individual lock components, Rocfast is said to remove the burden of self-assembly and ensure that customers receive a fully assembled solution tailored to their needs.
