The product of the month is our Craig & Derricott extensive range of Fire Rated Switchgear!
Available 20A to 1250A, this switchgear is used to maintain power to vital equipment such as smoke extraction / ventilation fans allowing the safe evacuation of businesses, carparks and public areas in the event of a fire.
These Switch Disconnectors are installed near to the extraction fan for isolation purposes and have been tested in conjunction with the fan equipment to meet the stringent thermal requirements of BS EN 12101-3. Within BS EN 12101-3 (smoke and heat controls) there are different classes of duty which define a specific temperature gradient, upper temperature limit and time period.
