Wylex REC2SPD

Hi all,


I bought one of these for the first time today for a job I have coming up. I was suprised when I opened it up to find the SPD linked to the isolator by just 2.5mm wires, as these are the factory connection I guess this is the norm but I was suprised all the same! Why so small? I was expecting a copper busbar!


Thanks,

Will

  • Very interesting Andy, all I can guess is that Wylex has updated the design of the rec2 and rec2spd and there are several version of both of them out there! The earlier version with busbar links and the newer with flexible links...I remember fitting a rec2 isolator a while back that had a single screw on each of the connections as opposed to 2 like in your photo! I've also just fitted a rec4 with two Allen screws per terminal (like the newer Henley blocks and cutouts) and instead of a red operating leaver it was brown with a blue section above the neutral. I guess manufacturers are constantly refining and changing their designs without any notice!
