20A / 20AX Switching

The R30-01 is a 20A Grid switch module, with trade product information also specifying a 20AX inductive rating.

As with any Grid accessory, the connected load and circuit design should be appropriate for the switch rating and installed in accordance with applicable wiring requirements.

Double Pole Switching

A major feature of the R30-01 is its double pole switching configuration.

Double-pole operation enables simultaneous switching across both poles rather than switching only a single conductor. BG specifically highlights double-pole switching as providing additional reassurance for a safer installation.

This makes the R30-01 useful when building Grid accessories for applications requiring double-pole isolation or control.

Rocker On / Off Operation

The R30-01 uses a conventional rocker-style switching mechanism with an On / Off switching state.

The straightforward rocker format makes the module intuitive to operate and allows it to integrate neatly with other compatible modules within a customised BG Grid arrangement.

BG Nexus Grid Modular System

The R30-01 forms part of the BG Nexus Grid modular wiring accessory system.

Rather than being supplied as a complete standalone wall switch, the module is designed to be installed with a compatible BG Grid frame and front plate.

This modular approach enables installers to build switching arrangements tailored to individual projects by selecting the required modules, mounting frame and decorative plate separately.

Simple 'Locate & Clip' Installation

BG has designed the R30-01 with its simple and secure 'locate and clip' fitting system.

Once wired, the module locates into the appropriate Grid frame, helping make assembly quick and straightforward.

This is particularly useful on projects involving multiple customised Grid assemblies where installation efficiency is important.

Captive Backed-Out Terminal Screws

The R30-01 incorporates captive, backed-out terminal screws.

By supplying the terminals ready for conductor insertion, the design can reduce unnecessary screw adjustment during installation and help make wiring quicker.

Captive screws also help prevent terminal screws becoming separated from the module during installation.

Generous Terminal Capacity

BG specifies the R30-01 with terminal capacities of:

• 4 x 1.0mm²
• 4 x 2.5mm²
• 2 x 2.5mm²
• 1 x 4.0mm²

White Finish

The R30-01 is supplied in a clean white finish, allowing it to coordinate with compatible white Grid accessories or sit behind suitable decorative BG Grid front plates.

Its modular construction means the functional switch module and finished front plate can be selected separately to suit the installation.

Anti-Microbial Properties

BG specifies the white R30-01 as having anti-microbial properties.

This provides an additional material feature for a frequently handled electrical control and can be particularly useful when specifying accessories for shared residential, workplace and commercial environments.

Alternative Printed Rocker Covers

The R30-01 can be used with alternative printed rocker covers, allowing the switch function to be identified where a suitable compatible labelled rocker is selected.

This is particularly useful in multi-module Grid arrangements where several switches are installed together and clear circuit identification is desirable.

220–240V Operating Voltage

BG specifies an operating voltage of 220–240V for the R30-01.

This makes it suitable for appropriately designed mains-voltage electrical installations within its stated ratings.

Minimum 25mm Box Depth

Actual installation requirements should also take account of the selected Grid frame, front plate, cable arrangement and available wiring space.

IP20 Rated

The module carries an IP20 rating.

It is therefore intended to form part of a suitable indoor wiring-accessory installation rather than serving as a weatherproof switch by itself.

Custom Grid Switching

One of the key advantages of the R30-01 is its modular format.

Installers can combine the 20A double-pole switch with the appropriate BG Grid frame and front plate, allowing customised electrical controls to be assembled for the requirements of the project.

This makes it useful for installations where several different switching functions need to be grouped together behind a coordinated front plate.

Compatible with BG Grid Frames & Plates

The R30-01 is specifically designed to be installed with a BG Grid frame and front plate.

For example, it can be incorporated into an appropriately sized current-generation BG Grid frame such as the RFR series and then finished with a compatible Grid front plate.

The module, frame and front plate should be selected according to the number of modules and required decorative finish.

Current-Generation BG Nexus Grid

The R30-01 belongs to the newer BG Nexus Grid platform. Current trade documentation notes that the Grid range introduced in 2021 is not interchangeable with the previous BG Grid range, so compatibility should be checked carefully when replacing components in an older installation.

Suitable for Domestic Installations

The R30-01 can be incorporated into customised Grid accessories throughout suitable residential installations.

Its modular design makes it particularly useful in kitchens, utility areas and other locations where grouped or clearly identified electrical controls are required.

Suitable for Commercial Installations

The module is also suitable for appropriate commercial electrical installations.

BG Grid accessories can provide a neat way of grouping control functions in offices, retail premises, hospitality environments and other commercial properties.

25-Year Warranty

The R30-01 is backed by a 25-year BG Electrical warranty, providing long-term reassurance when correctly specified and installed.
