Key Features

Switched Fused Spur with 13A Protection

Provides a fused and switched connection point for fixed electrical appliances that require isolation and overload protection. Ideal for appliances that are hard-wired and do not use a standard 13A plug.

Double Pole Switching for Maximum Safety

Ensures that both live and neutral conductors are isolated when the switch is turned off. This offers enhanced protection during maintenance or emergencies, especially in circuits supplying high-power or resistive loads.

Top-Access Large Angled Terminals

The large, slanted terminals with top access make installation easier and faster, particularly in tight or recessed wall boxes. The clearly embossed terminal markings eliminate confusion and ensure proper wiring.

Retained Fixing Screws with Earth Strap

Faceplate screws are held securely in place by the integrated earth strap. This makes installation more efficient by preventing lost screws and simplifies faceplate removal or replacement during servicing.

Dual Earth Terminals

Supports installations where earth continuity is required—especially when installed in metal back boxes or in scenarios with earth loop continuity requirements across multiple outlets.

Modern Square Edge Design

Blends effortlessly with other Securlec Square Edge products for a consistent appearance throughout residential and commercial installations. The clean, minimalist profile fits well in kitchens, utility rooms, plant rooms, and office environments.

Important: Electrical installation must comply with the latest IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Work should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the purpose of a fused spur?
A: A fused spur is used to provide a fused, isolated power supply to a fixed appliance. It limits the current to the appliance (e.g., 13A) and allows easy disconnection without affecting other circuits.

Q2: Is this suitable for outdoor use?
A: No. This fused spur is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor installations, select an IP-rated weatherproof alternative.

Q3: Can I replace the fuse myself?
A: Yes. The unit uses a standard BS 1362 13A fuse, which is easily replaceable by opening the front-mounted fuse carrier.

Q4: Does this unit include a neon indicator?
A: This specific model does not include a neon indicator. If you require a fused spur with an indicator light, check our full range of Securlec spurs with neon options.

Q5: What cable sizes can be accommodated?
A: The large angled terminals are designed to accept standard 1.0mm² to 2.5mm² fixed wiring conductors.
