BG Evolve PCDBC52B 13A Switched Fused Spur with Led Indicator

BG Evolve PCDBC52B-01 Black Chrome 13A Switched Fused Connection Unit

Provide protected local control for a suitable hardwired appliance with the BG Evolve PCDBC52B-01 Black Chrome 13A Switched Fused Connection Unit.

Also known as a switched fused spur or FCU, this decorative wiring accessory combines a 13A fused connection, double-pole rocker switch, flush LED power indicator and front-facing flex outlet. Its polished Black Chrome plate and coordinated black components create a premium alternative to standard white fused connection units in contemporary homes, apartments, hotels and commercial interiors.

Suitable for Hardwired Appliances and Spur Circuits

The PCDBC52B-01 is designed for suitable spur circuits and hardwired electrical appliances. The fused connection helps protect the connected appliance cable when the correct fuse rating is selected for the equipment and installation.

Typical applications may include compatible:

• Boilers and heating controls
• Extractor fans and cooker hoods
• Washing machines and dishwashers
• Refrigerators and freezers
• Water heaters
• Electric towel rails
• Ventilation equipment
• Fixed kitchen appliances

The appropriate fuse, cable size and circuit arrangement must be selected according to the connected appliance and current electrical requirements.

Double-Pole Switching

The integrated rocker uses a double-pole switching mechanism, disconnecting both live and neutral conductors when switched off.

This provides clear local control for suitable fixed appliances and can be useful when equipment needs to be turned off for servicing, cleaning or everyday operation. The accessory is rated at 13A and 250V AC.

Flush LED Power Indicator

A low-profile LED indicator is built into the front of the fused connection unit, providing a clear visual reference when the connected supply is switched on.

The flush design keeps the front plate looking clean and contemporary while helping users quickly check the appliance’s power status.

Front-Facing Flex Outlet

The PCDBC52B-01 includes a front cable outlet with a removable blanking piece. This allows a suitable flexible appliance cable to exit directly through the face of the fused spur where a concealed cable route is not required or practical.

This can be particularly useful for appliances positioned close to the connection point, including boilers, fans, heating equipment and fixed kitchen products.

Premium Black Chrome Finish

The polished Black Chrome plate provides a dark metallic finish that coordinates effectively with:

• Black kitchen appliances
• Chrome taps and handles
• Dark cabinetry
• Black switches and sockets
• Modern light fittings
• Grey and neutral interiors
• Contemporary hotel rooms
• Premium office and hospitality spaces

The black rocker, fuse holder and flex-outlet components create a coordinated appearance across the front of the accessory.

Matching switches, sockets, USB outlets and other accessories are available in the BG Evolve Black Chrome range, allowing the same finish to be continued throughout a room or property.

Screwless Clip-On Front Plate

The decorative front plate clips onto the installed accessory base and hides the mounting screws, creating a smooth finish without visible screw heads.

It can be removed while painting or wallpapering and clipped back into position once decorating is complete. This helps protect the Black Chrome surface during installation and refurbishment work.

The electrical supply must always be safely isolated before removing the plate, replacing the fuse or carrying out installation work.

Angled Colour-Coded Terminals

The accessory uses angled terminals with printed colour identification to help installers locate the live, neutral and earth connections.

Captive backed-out terminal screws remain retained inside the mechanism and are supplied ready for conductor insertion, helping reduce installation time and preventing screw loss.

The official technical specification lists terminal capacities of:

• Three 2.5mm² conductors
• Three 4mm² conductors
• One 6mm² conductor

The unit also includes two earth terminals, supporting suitable protective-conductor arrangements.

Minimum 35mm Back Box

The PCDBC52B-01 requires a minimum 35mm single-gang mounting box and uses standard 60.3mm fixing centres.

A deeper mounting box may provide easier conductor positioning where several cables enter the accessory.

Suitable installation options can include:

• A 35mm single-gang metal back box
• A deeper recessed mounting box
• A compatible dry-lining box
• An appropriate surface-mounted pattress
