Integrated Active RCD Protection

A key feature of the VWP1409DPP is its integrated RCD.

The RCD is designed to detect earth leakage faults and rapidly disconnect the electrical supply, providing additional protection against the risk of electric shock.

Unlike a passive RCD, the active design requires the socket to be manually reset after a power interruption. This prevents connected equipment from automatically becoming live again when the electrical supply is restored.

This characteristic makes the socket particularly useful for equipment where unexpected restarting could create a safety risk.

Ideal for Power & Garden Tools

The no-volt reset characteristic of the RCD makes the VWP1409DPP particularly suitable for supplying portable electrical equipment such as:

• Lawn Mowers
• Hedge Trimmers
• Pressure Washers
• Power Tools
• Garden Equipment
• Workshop Equipment
• Other Portable Outdoor Electrical Equipment

Equipment suitability should always be determined according to the individual electrical installation and manufacturer's requirements.

IP66 Weatherproof Protection

The enclosure carries an IP66 rating, providing protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets.

This makes the socket suitable for demanding locations where a conventional indoor socket would not provide sufficient environmental protection, including gardens, garages, workshops, sheds and other exposed areas.

2 Gang 13A Double Pole Switched Socket

The unit provides two 13A socket outlets within a single weatherproof enclosure.

Double pole switching provides switching of both live and neutral conductors, while the pre-fitted design helps provide a convenient complete solution for new outdoor installations and upgrades.

Lockable Translucent Hinged Cover

A robust translucent cover protects the socket outlets while allowing the neon indicators to remain visible when the cover is closed.

The cover incorporates locking points that allow a suitable padlock to be fitted, helping restrict unauthorised access where required.

A single latching clip provides straightforward access to the sockets during normal use.

Installer-Friendly WeatherPro Design

The WeatherPro enclosure has been designed to make installation straightforward while helping maintain its environmental protection.

Multiple drill-out cable entry points are provided around the sides and rear of the back box, allowing the installer to select the most appropriate cable route.

The back box mounting points are separated from the primary wiring space to help maintain the IP66 rating when correctly installed, while fast-fix screws allow the accessory frame to be installed and removed efficiently.
