    4.0 out of 5 stars Economical Dual RCD - Terminals very narrow though, 12 Aug 2011

    I purchased 3 of these
    The finished job with these fitted to a dual socket backplate looks great and the rcd feature means not having to add a plug in unit to standard sockets every-time you want added protection from electric shock.

    I can now confirm mine have reacted perfectly to a spill on an extension that was connected to one of these double sockets,with an immediate power off and each additional unit on the same circuit also switched off in different rooms because they detected the current leak to earth,even on the incoming feed. This happened so fast,no fire nor shock was experienced, so safety wise very good in this respect.

    HOWEVER be really careful while installing these!

    Live and Neutral terminals are REVERSED at the rear terminal entry points(if you compare them to a UK standard double sockets rear terminal arrangement) and every terminal including the earth is smaller -- so I had to snip doubled over domestic,recently installed mains... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good value product but be warned., 7 Dec 2011

    This review is from: Powerlectrik RCD 2 Gang Double Switched 13 Amp Socket Outlet For Safe use of Power tools and garden appliances
    I ordered this item (5/12/11 arrived 7/12/11 - excellent service) to replace an existing RCD which had ceased to function so the back box was in place and it should have been a simple matter to connect the unit. However, there is a design fault which was highlighted by a previous reviewer. The live and neutral terminal slots appear to be very narrow and if you loosen the screws too far to widen the slots, as I did, not heeding the warning of the previous reviewer, the screws will inevitably fall inside. My experience was that you can 'shake' the screws free but it is very difficult to re-attach the screws without them falling inside again. I eventually managed to instal the screws again after many abortive attempts by introducing a narrow curved piece of thin cardboard into the screw hole, sliding the screw into place along this piece of cardboard and then securing the screw with a couple of turns.

    I did not find actually attaching the cables to be a problem even though the... Read more
