Description

Timeguard TX1318 16-Way Metal Consumer Unit with 100A Main Switch – No SPD

The Timeguard TX1318 is a surface-mounted steel consumer unit with a pre-fitted 100A double-pole main switch and 16 free outgoing ways. Its 18-module enclosure provides space for separately selected circuit-protection devices. No surge protection device is included.

Designed for domestic new builds, renovations and consumer unit replacements, this model allows an electrician to specify the outgoing protection required for the property. Compatible Timeguard TX-series RCBOs and AFDD/RCBOs are purchased separately.

Choose the Correct Configuration

TX1318 is the version without a fitted SPD. When comparing similar Timeguard boards, the TX1118 includes a Type 2 SPD and provides 15 free outgoing ways, while this model provides 16.

The main switch switches line and neutral together. The outgoing devices must provide the overcurrent and residual-current protection specified for the circuits.

Your electrician should assess the installation’s surge-protection arrangements before selecting a no-SPD board. The manufacturer’s instructions allow a compatible SPD to be added, with the device selection and remaining module space checked as part of the installation design.

Cable Access and Internal Layout

A raised, removable DIN rail allows cables to pass underneath, helping with cable routing inside the enclosure. The floating busbar has a pre-fitted protective cover, while top, bottom, side and rear knockouts provide options for different cable approaches.

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

FAQ's

What is the Timeguard TX1318?

It is an 18-module steel consumer unit supplied with a 100A double-pole main switch and 16 free outgoing ways. It does not include an SPD.

Does it include outgoing RCBOs?

No. Outgoing protective devices are selected separately to suit the circuits and installation design.

How does TX1318 differ from TX1118?

TX1318 has 16 free ways and no SPD. TX1118 includes a Type 2 SPD and provides 15 free ways.

What is the difference between TX1318 and TX1314?

TX1318 provides 16 free ways in a 376mm-wide back box. TX1314 provides 12 free ways in a 304mm-wide back box.

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 AFDD/RCBO combination devices be fitted?

Yes. The manufacturer’s main-switch installation instructions provide for RCBO/AFDD devices. Check compatibility and device widths when specifying the layout.

Can an SPD be added?

The instructions state that an SPD can be fitted. A qualified installer must select a compatible device and check the resulting assembly.

Will fitting an SPD leave all 16 outgoing ways available?

Do not assume so. An added device occupies module space, so the remaining usable positions must be checked.

Does “no SPD” mean the installation does not need surge protection?

No. It describes what is supplied with this product. The electrician must assess the installation’s surge-protection arrangements separately.
