Description

The Timeguard TX1232 is a white steel consumer unit with a factory-fitted 100A double-pole main switch and Type 2 surge protection device. Its 32-module enclosure is arranged across two rows of 16 modules, with 28 free outgoing ways specified by the manufacturer.

Designed for domestic new builds, renovations and consumer unit replacements, this dual-row board provides space for an electrician to specify individual circuit protection. It is worth considering when the circuit schedule needs more outgoing positions than a smaller enclosure can accommodate.

Select the Protection Required for Each Circuit

Outgoing RCBOs and AFDD/RCBOs are purchased separately. This allows the electrician to choose suitable Timeguard TX-series protective devices for the installation.

The double-pole main switch switches line and neutral together. The fitted Type 2 SPD helps protect connected equipment against transient overvoltagesβ€”brief voltage surges that can damage electrical and electronic components.

Surge protection does a different job from circuit protection. Suitable overcurrent and residual-current protection must still be provided by the devices selected for the installation.

FAQ's

Is the TX1232 a 32-way or a 28-way consumer unit?

It has a 32-module enclosure with 28 free outgoing ways. Total module capacity includes space occupied by fitted components.

What does 2 Γ— 16 modules mean?

The enclosure has two rows, each with 16 module positions. This describes the physical layout, rather than 32 available outgoing circuits.

Are outgoing RCBOs included?

No. The main switch and Type 2 SPD are fitted, but outgoing protective devices are purchased separately.

Which protective devices are compatible?

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

Can I fit AFDD/RCBO combination devices?

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

Does dual row mean it is a split-load RCD board?

No. Dual row describes the enclosure layout. This model is supplied with a main switch and SPD for separately specified outgoing protection.

Does each row have its own 100A capacity?

No. The published maximum assembly current is 100A. Two rows do not double the current rating.

Does the main switch provide automatic overload protection?

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

Does the Type 2 SPD replace an RCD or RCBO?

No. It addresses transient overvoltages. Residual-current and overcurrent protection require the appropriate separate protective devices.
