The Timeguard TW1460P Weathersafe IP66 Fused Spur provides a weather-resistant fixed power connection with integrated 30mA passive RCD protection.
Designed for compatible outdoor appliances and equipment in remote or normally unattended locations, its passive RCD allows power to resume automatically following a normal mains power cut. The IP66 impact-resistant enclosure also features a visible neon indicator, translucent hinged cover and locking points for an optional padlock.
Provide a secure fixed electrical connection in demanding indoor or outdoor environments with the Timeguard TW1460P Weathersafe IP66 13A Unswitched Fused Spur.
The unit combines a 13A unswitched fused connection unit with an integrated 30mA passive RCD. The RCD monitors the electrical supply for earth leakage and disconnects the connected equipment when a potentially dangerous fault is detected, helping reduce the risk of electric shock.
Its passive, or latching, operation allows power to return automatically after a normal mains interruption. This makes the TW1460P particularly suitable for compatible refrigerators, freezers and equipment installed in remote or normally unattended locations where manual resetting after every power cut would be inconvenient.
Automatic restoration following a power cut should not be confused with automatic resetting after an earth fault. When the RCD has tripped because of leakage, the fault should be investigated before the device is reset.
IP66 Weather-Resistant Construction
The fused spur is housed inside an impact-resistant polycarbonate enclosure rated IP66 when correctly installed and fully closed.
The enclosure provides:
Complete protection against dust ingress
Protection against powerful water jets
Durable performance in demanding environments
A translucent cover through which the neon indicator can be viewed
Locking points for an optional padlock
Multiple drill-out cable-entry positions
Separate back-box mounting points to help preserve the IP rating
A single latching clip provides convenient access to the accessory, while fast-fix screws allow the internal accessory frame to be installed or removed efficiently.

FAQ's
What is the Timeguard TW1460P?
The TW1460P is an IP66-rated 13A unswitched fused spur with an integrated 30mA passive RCD.
It provides a fixed electrical connection for compatible equipment in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.
Does it include RCD protection?
Yes. The product incorporates a 30mA passive RCD that disconnects the power when an earth leakage fault is detected.
What is a passive RCD?
A passive RCD normally remains latched during a straightforward loss of incoming mains power.
When the mains supply returns, power can resume without the user having to manually reset the RCD.
Does the RCD automatically reset after an electrical fault?
No.
The automatic restoration feature relates to a normal power interruption. If the RCD has tripped because it detected earth leakage, the cause should be investigated before it is reset.
Why is it suitable for fridges and freezers?
Refrigeration equipment may need to resume operation automatically after a temporary power cut.
The passive RCD design avoids the need for someone to visit the installation simply to restore power following a normal mains interruption.
Does it guarantee continuous power to a freezer?
No.
Power can still be interrupted by an RCD trip, blown fuse, circuit-breaker operation, appliance fault, damaged wiring or utility outage. Consider a separate temperature or power-failure alarm where stored contents are valuable.
