Description

Timeguard TX1118 White 15-Way Consumer Unit with 100A Main Switch & Type 2 SPD

The Timeguard TX1118 is a white steel consumer unit supplied with a 100A double-pole main switch and Type 2 surge protection device already fitted. Its 18-module enclosure provides 15 free outgoing ways, allowing an electrician to specify the circuit protection needed for a domestic installation.

For a new build, home renovation or replacement fuse box project, this model offers more outgoing space than the smaller boards in the range. It is supplied without outgoing RCBOs or AFDD/RCBOs, so the protective devices can be selected separately to suit the installation.

Main Switch and SPD Included

The double-pole main switch provides a common switching point for the outgoing circuits, switching line and neutral together. The Type 2 SPD helps protect connected electrical equipment against transient overvoltagesβ€”brief voltage surges that can damage electronics.

Surge protection does a different job from circuit protection. Suitable outgoing devices are still required to provide the overcurrent and residual-current protection specified for each circuit.

Designed to Help with Cable Routing

Inside the surface-mounted enclosure, a raised, removable DIN rail allows cables to pass underneath. The floating busbar has a pre-fitted protective cover, while cable-entry knockouts provide options for cables approaching from above, below, behind or either side.

A live busbar, blank modules, rear-entry grommets and circuit identification labels are supplied. The curved visor can also accept a separately purchased locking kit.

FAQ's

Is the TX1118 an 18-way or a 15-way consumer unit?

It has an 18-module enclosure with 15 free outgoing ways. The fitted main switch and SPD occupy the remaining module space.

Are RCBOs included?

No. The main switch and Type 2 SPD are supplied, but outgoing protective devices must be selected separately.

Which RCBOs are compatible with this consumer unit?

Timeguard specifies its TX-series consumer unit devices only. Physical fit on the DIN rail does not establish compatibility with another manufacturer’s devices.

Can it accommodate AFDD/RCBO combination devices?

Yes. Timeguard describes its main-switch enclosures as suitable for RCBOs and AFDD/RCBOs. Confirm the selected devices’ compatibility and module widths when planning the layout.

Does the 100A main switch trip automatically during an overload?

The main switch is a switching device, rather than an outgoing circuit breaker. Appropriate overcurrent protection must be provided within the installation design.

What does double-pole switching mean?

The main switch switches the line and neutral conductors together.

Does the Type 2 SPD provide earth-leakage protection?

No. The SPD addresses transient overvoltages. Earth-leakage protection requires the appropriate RCD or RCBO arrangement.
