Component descriptions
Some of these components can be swapped out using the menus above in one of four categories.
Mains consumer unit
A 2-way double pole consumer unit with a 40A 30ma Type A RCD combined in series with 6A and 16A double pole MCBs. Overall dimensions are 170mm x 150mm x 90mm (W x L x H)
Outlet Sockets & number of sockets
Available in a choice of finishes and you can add up to 4 double sockets in this kit.
All of the outlet sockets come in a double, with 2 x standard 3 pin UK plug outlets.
They are all provided with a back box too, the back boxes mount in behind the sockets to make sure the terminals aren't exposed.
Inlet socket
Covered surface mounted inlet socket. This is the best socket for mounting under the bonnet or beneath the rear bumper. It has two mounting screws on the base and takes a standard 3 pin round blue hook up lead. It is wired from the back of the pins, using screw clamp type fastenings.
Flush mounted inlet socket. This uses the same 3 pin round blue hook up lead to connect between the site post and your camper. It's designed to be mounted through the side of the van by cutting a hole. Supplied with a backing gasket (we use this as a template for cutting the hole). It has 4 screw holes, one in each corner to compliment the recommended fixing/sealing methods. Available in white or black.
Battery charger
10A Victron Blue Power mains to leisure battery charger. Comes with bluetooth so you can remotely check your battery status and adjust charge rates. This charger also has a profile for charging Lithium batteries, so it's the one to go for if you have a LiFePO4 battery.
It is durable safe and silent with a 94% energy efficiency and temperature compensated charging, there is no need for a cooling fan.
This charger is also fantastic at charging batteries at the same time as power is being taken from the battery.
