The Type-A RCD protects against both AC residual currents and pulsating DC currents up to 6mA, making it suitable for circuits serving IT equipment, LED drivers and devices with electronic components that can produce DC leakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to meet Building Regulations Part M, the socket provides adequate contrast between the anthracite faceplate and the white rocker switches, achieving the recommended 30% Light Reflectance Value (LRV) difference for accessible installations. The outboard rockers sit above the socket outlets rather than between them, making them easier to locate and operate for users with reduced dexterity or vision. The latching (passive) RCD automatically resets following mains power restoration, removing the need for manual intervention after power cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket requires a minimum 35mm back box depth and uses captive screw terminals for secure cable retention. Dual earth terminals allow onward earth continuity without additional connector blocks. The thermoset resin construction carries anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial surface contamination in healthcare, hospitality and high-traffic commercial environments. The curved edge design sits flush to the wall with a 10mm projection from the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
