New product suggestions.

I list here a number of suggestions for new types of wiring accessories for which I see a demand.


1) fused connection units with a GREEN indicator lamp, for items intended to be left on, green is preferable.


2) A 13 amp plug to fit standard outlets, but designed to accept 2.5mm flex when this is required for longer extension leads or other purposes.


3) A 6 or 8 gang 13 amp socket for fixed installations, not a trailing extension socket. Useful when many appliances are used nearby, IT and home entertainment equipment for example. Perhaps two versions, one with a 13 amp fuse when the load on say a spur is to be limited, and an unfused version for up to 32 amps in total.


4) A multiple switched fused connection unit, 4 or 5 switched fused connection units in one box, ideally suited for multiple kitchen appliances. Oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, extract fan, for example. One input connection for 32 amps, and four or five switched, fused outputs.


5) An improved type of pull cord 45 amp switch for showers etc. Big enough to readily accept a pair of 10mm twin with earth  cables. Intended to be mounted ABOVE the ceiling in the interest of neatness, with only the operating cord passing through the ceiling via a ferule into the room below.

  • The above is more applicable to complex machinery with several lamps for different purposes.


    However for simple equipment connected via a fused connection unit, green seems suitable for equipment intended to be energised continually. Such as fire alarm panels, freezers and fridges, CCTV equipment, sump pumps, anti frost heaters and the like. Red should also be available for appliances such as heating or cooking equipment that is not intended for long term un-attended operation.


    It seems odd that a red lamp on a fire alarm panel, denotes an alarm condition, but red on the adjacent fused spur is the normal condition.
