Description
28 Way Main Consumer Unit with Type 2 SPD
Timeguard TX1232 28 Way SPD Consumer Unit
The Timeguard TX1232 28 Way SPD Consumer Unit forms part of Timeguard’s main switch circuit protection range and is designed for large domestic installations and light commercial applications requiring a high number of individually protected circuits. It is supplied factory assembled with a 100A double-pole main switch and a single-module Type 2 surge protection device (SPD), supporting compliance with current wiring regulations and installation best practice.
This consumer unit provides 28 free usable ways, calculated after allowing for the main switch and SPD, and is intended for RCBO or AFDD/RCBO installation on each outgoing circuit. The high free-way capacity allows installers to populate the board to suit site-specific requirements while providing scope for future circuit expansion.
The 100A main switch is positioned on the left-hand side of the enclosure, following Timeguard’s standard layout and providing a familiar wiring orientation for installers.
Housed in a robust surface-mounted dual-bank steel enclosure (2 × 16 modules) with a curved, lockable visor, the unit features large rectangular rear cable entries supplied with grommets, along with conduit entry points on the top, bottom and sides. A raised removable DIN rail allows cables to pass underneath, while the floating busbar with pre-fitted cover improves installation flexibility and safety. The enclosure is fully compliant with BS 7671:2018+A3:2024wiring regulations.
