Description

Timeguard TX1938 IP2X Metal Consumer Unit with 63A Type A RCD & 6A/16A MCBs

The Timeguard TX1938 is a surface-mounted steel consumer unit supplied with a 63A Type A RCD, one 6A B-curve MCB and one 16A B-curve MCB. Its eight-module enclosure provides four free outgoing ways alongside the fitted devices.

Designed for domestic new builds and refurbishment installations, this model gives the electrician a populated starting configuration with additional module space. The supplied device ratings and any proposed additions must be checked against the circuits, cables and incoming supply.

Understand the Shared RCD Arrangement

The RCD provides residual-current protection, while the individual MCBs provide overload and short-circuit protection for their respective circuits.

This is a shared-RCD configuration. If the common RCD operates, it disconnects the circuits supplied through it. It should therefore be distinguished from a board using individual RCBOs for each circuit.

The markings B6 and B16 identify B-curve MCBs rated at 6A and 16A. The MCBs’ B-curve classification is separate from the RCD’s Type A classification.

Four Free Ways for an Assessed Layout

Four outgoing module positions remain available in the supplied configuration. Additional protective devices must be compatible with the assembly and selected as part of the installation design.

Use Timeguard TX-series consumer unit devices only. Blank modules are supplied to cover unused positions.

Practical Cable Routing and Access

A raised DIN rail allows cables to pass underneath, while the floating busbar has a pre-fitted protective cover. Top, bottom, side and rear knockouts provide options for different cable approaches.

A rear-entry grommet and circuit identification labels are supplied. The back box measures 259mm high Γ— 232mm wide Γ— 87mm deep.

The steel enclosure is rated IP2X, and the instructions specify indoor use. Its curved visor can accept a separately purchased locking kit.

Timeguard lists a 10-year guarantee for this product.

Specification

The Timeguard TX1938 is an IP2X, surface-mounted steel consumer unit supplied with a 63A Type A RCD, one 6A B-curve MCB and one 16A B-curve MCB. Its eight-module enclosure provides four free outgoing ways, with back-box dimensions of 259mm high Γ— 232mm wide Γ— 87mm deep. The MCBs provide individual overcurrent protection, while the common RCD provides residual-current protection for the circuits supplied through it. Designed for domestic new-build and refurbishment installations, it is specified for indoor use. Compared with TX1934, this model has a larger steel enclosure and three additional free ways.

FAQ's

What is included with the Timeguard TX1938?

It includes a steel enclosure, 63A Type A RCD, 6A B-curve MCB, 16A B-curve MCB, blank modules, rear grommet and circuit labels.

How many outgoing circuits are supplied with protective devices?

Two outgoing MCBs are fitted. Four additional outgoing module positions remain free.

Does eight modules mean eight available circuits?

No. Eight modules describes the total enclosure capacity, including space occupied by the fitted devices.

What do B6 and B16 mean?

B identifies the MCB trip curve. The numbers identify their current ratings: 6A and 16A respectively.

Are the fitted outgoing devices MCBs or RCBOs?

They are MCBs. Residual-current protection is provided by the separate Type A RCD.

Does each circuit have an individual residual-current device?

The supplied configuration uses one common RCD. It is not supplied with individual RCBOs for the outgoing circuits.

Could an RCD trip interrupt both fitted circuits?

Yes. Circuits supplied through the common RCD lose their supply when it operates.

Does the RCD provide overload protection?

No. Appropriate overcurrent protection is required. The outgoing MCBs provide overload and short-circuit protection for their respective circuits.

What does the RCD’s 63A rating mean?

It identifies its rated current. It is separate from the outgoing MCB ratings and does not describe residual-current sensitivity.

Is a B-curve MCB the same as a Type B RCD?

No. MCB trip curves and RCD residual-current types describe different characteristics. This unit is supplied with a Type A RCD.

Can additional circuits be fitted in the four free ways?

Only after device compatibility, loading, cable design and assembly requirements have been assessed by the electrician.

Do four free ways guarantee room for any four devices?

No. Device widths and the proposed assembly layout must be checked before specifying additions.
