Consumer-Friendly SEO Product Description
Add convenient socket-level electrical protection with the Scolmore Click Mode CMARCDP036 13A two-gang RCD switched socket. Combining two standard UK plug outlets with built-in Type A passive RCD protection, it provides a practical replacement for a conventional double socket in suitable domestic and commercial installations.
An RCD is designed to disconnect the electricity supply when it detects an earth-leakage fault. This can provide additional protection for equipment connected directly to the socket, making the CMARCDP036 particularly useful for suitable properties, workshops, utility rooms and other indoor areas where local RCD protection is required. Scolmore also identifies its passive RCD sockets as a potential retrofit solution for appropriate homes without existing RCD devices. The installation and the protection requirements of the complete circuit must always be assessed by a qualified electrician.
The passive operating design is mechanically latched, meaning this type of RCD does not normally require resetting following a temporary loss of mains power. This makes passive RCD sockets suitable for applications where connected equipment may need to resume operation when the electricity supply returns.
Both outlets have individual rocker switches, allowing connected appliances to be switched off without removing their plugs. The central RCD section provides dedicated test and reset controls, while the polar white rounded plate has a smooth moulded profile designed to coordinate with other white accessories from the Click Mode range.
Rated at 13A and 250V AC, the socket includes twin earth terminals and screw connections accepting three 2.5mm² or three 4mm² solid conductors. It uses standard 120.6mm horizontal fixing centres and requires a minimum 35mm mounting box depth. Its overall plate dimensions are approximately 146mm wide, 86mm high and 9.5mm deep.
The CMARCDP036 has an IP20 rating for protected indoor environments and operates within a temperature range of approximately -5°C to +40°C. Scolmore specifies a trip speed of less than 40 milliseconds at 150mA residual current, a 250A earth-leakage breaking capacity and a 1,500A through-fault withstand rating.
