Description

Click Scolmore MCP200 50A Double Pole Metal Clad Plate Switch

The Click Scolmore MCP200 50A Double Pole Metal Clad Plate Switch is a robust, high-current switching accessory designed for reliable local control and isolation in demanding indoor electrical installations. Part of the Scolmore Metal Clad Pro range, it combines a durable metal construction, dusty grey finish and highly visible red rocker with a substantial 50A load rating.

Designed for circuits that require double-pole switching, the MCP200 disconnects both the live and neutral conductors when switched off. This makes it suitable for appropriate high-load fixed electrical equipment and appliance circuits where clear local isolation is required, subject to the circuit design, connected load and current wiring regulations.

The switch is commonly searched for as a 50A metal clad cooker switch, double-pole appliance isolator, heavy-duty plate switch or surface-mounted high-current switch. Its industrial-style construction makes it a practical choice for workshops, utility areas, commercial kitchens, plant rooms, maintenance areas, garages and other indoor locations where a standard plastic accessory may not provide the preferred level of durability.

A large red rocker switch gives users a clear and easy-to-operate switching point. The contrasting rocker is especially useful in busy commercial or industrial environments where the isolating switch must be quickly identified.

The MCP200 has a 50A rated current at 250V AC and includes a twin-earth facility for professional earth conductor termination. Its terminal capacity accepts one conductor up to 16mm², providing the capacity required for appropriate high-current installations.

Both the plate and matching back box are electrophoretically coated, creating a consistent dusty grey finish across the complete accessory. The Metal Clad Pro design offers a clean, modern alternative to traditional square-edged industrial wiring accessories while retaining a strong surface-mounted construction.

A matching 50mm-deep metal back box is supplied, so installers receive a complete surface-mounted switch rather than needing to purchase the enclosure separately. The additional box depth provides useful wiring space for the larger conductors commonly associated with suitable 50A circuits.

The complete MCP200 measures 88mm wide, 88mm high and 58mm deep, with standard 60.3mm fixing centres. It carries an IP20 ingress-protection rating and is intended for indoor use in dry environments. Its stated operating temperature range is -5°C to +40°C.

Choose the Click Scolmore MCP200 50A metal clad double-pole switch for a dependable surface-mounted isolation solution suitable for electricians, electrical contractors, facilities managers, property maintenance teams and commercial installers.

FAQ's

What is the Click Scolmore MCP200?

The MCP200 is a 50A, 1-gang, double-pole plate switch from the Click Scolmore Metal Clad Pro range. It has a dusty grey finish, red rocker, twin-earth facility and included 50mm-deep back box.

Is the MCP200 a cooker switch?

The MCP200 is officially described as a 50A double-pole plate switch. It may be used as an isolation switch for a suitable cooker or another compatible high-current fixed appliance where the circuit design and equipment requirements permit.

Does the MCP200 have an LED indicator?

No. The MCP200 has a red rocker but the official specification does not list an LED indicator. Customers requiring the similar 50A version with an LED should check the appropriate alternative product code.

What does double-pole switching mean?

Double-pole switching disconnects both the live and neutral conductors at the same time. This provides local isolation for suitable connected electrical equipment.

What is the current rating of the MCP200?

The MCP200 has a rated current of 50A and a rated voltage of 250V AC.

Is a back box included?

Yes. The MCP200 is supplied complete with a matching 50mm-deep metal back box for surface-mounted installation.

Why does the MCP200 have a 50mm-deep back box?

The deeper box provides additional space for wiring and termination, which can be particularly useful with the larger conductors used on suitable high-current circuits.

Does the MCP200 have a twin-earth facility?

Yes. The switch includes a twin-earth facility for secure earth conductor termination and continuity.

What cable size can the MCP200 terminals accept?

The official terminal capacity is one conductor up to 16mm². Cable selection must be based on the circuit design, load, protective device, installation method and current wiring regulations.

What are the dimensions of the MCP200?

The complete product measures 88mm wide, 88mm high and 58mm deep. Its fixing centres are 60.3mm.

Can the MCP200 be installed outdoors?

The MCP200 has an IP20 rating and is designed for indoor use in dry environments. It should not be installed directly outdoors or in wet locations without a suitably rated enclosure.

Where can the MCP200 be installed?

It may be suitable for indoor workshops, utility areas, commercial kitchens, plant rooms, garages and other locations requiring a robust surface-mounted 50A double-pole switch.

Is the MCP200 suitable for every electric cooker?

Not automatically. The cooker load, circuit rating, cable size, protective device and manufacturer instructions must all be checked before installation.

Who should install the MCP200?

The MCP200 should be installed, connected and tested by a competent electrician in accordance with current UK wiring regulations and the requirements of the connected equipment.
