Here's what he highlighted...

Some of the themes that generated the most discussion included:

โœ”๏ธ Preparing for the introduction of Amendment 4

โœ”๏ธ Supporting electrical installations designed for EV charging, renewable energy and battery storage

โœ”๏ธ Selecting circuit protection that meets the demands of modern electrical installations

โœ”๏ธ Sharing practical knowledge and strengthening collaboration across the electrical community

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to speak with our team. Itโ€™s been a real pleasure to be a part of so many valuable conversations, and we look forward to continuing to support the industry with dependable electrical solutions built on our commitment to 'Quality by Design'.

The new 3P+N RCBO range provides combined overload, short-circuit, and earth leakage protection for individual three-phase outgoing circuits in a single device.

Designed for bi-directional operation, these RCBOs ensure reliable protection in installations where power flow may originate from multiple sources, including distributed generation systems.

In the event of a fault, all three phases and the neutral are disconnected simultaneously, helping to protect downstream equipment, limit disruption, and maintain system integrity.

The compact design makes them suitable for modern distribution systems where space efficiency and reliable circuit protection are key considerations.
