Socket - A socket is much more than an inconspicuous power supply on the wall. Find out here which sockets are available and why you can never have enough of them. In addition to buttons and switches, sockets are among the most important products of all manufacturers of switch programs. A socket is installed either permanently on a wall (surface-mounted socket) or recessed (flush-mounted socket). Sockets can also be part of a mobile line coupling, such as table or multiple sockets. There are also sockets on extensions that are intended for mobile use. A socket is mostly used for the power supply. There are also sockets for telephone / telecommunications and for the data transmission sockets. Devices are usually supplied with single-phase alternating current (in Europe 230 volts) or three-phase alternating current (three-phase current with 400 volts) via classic sockets. There are also standardized sockets for 12V direct current. There are separate socket systems for the supply of higher voltages and currents.Basic information about sockets - in a nutshellA distinction is made between the flush-mounting and surface-mounting types. With the flush-mounted variant, sockets are mounted in switch boxes, which in turn are embedded in the wall. In the 'surface-mounted' variant, sockets are attached to existing walls, usually with dowels and screws.Double sockets are usually nothing more than two single sockets. They obtain the energy from the same supply line. Flush-mounted variants can be optically connected to one another via the frames of the switch range. With surface-mounted devices, both sockets are supplied in one housing.A socket insert is a device for installation in the switch box. It is either attached using claws (clamp connection) or by screwing the base plate of the insert to the screw holes of the switch box. The insert must be supplemented by the frame of the switch range.High-quality moisture-proof sockets usually have a self-closing cover and a rubber seal around the base. They are used in bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms.Outdoor sockets must protect the current-carrying cables from rain and snow. Their housings are often particularly stable in order to prevent damage from mechanical influences.The degree of protection is a determining variable for the place of use. The best known is the two-digit IP protection class (IP = International Protection / Ingress Protection). The first digit stands for protection against contact and foreign bodies, the second digit for protection against water. The higher both digits, the safer. Planning of sockets - there is no such thing as too muchIf I were to build a house again, I would do many things differently.' You hear it very often like this or something similar when you talk to builders. Not infrequently, the planning and implementation of the electrical installation is one of the things that could be better. It is often the insufficient number of sockets that makes everyday life unnecessarily cumbersome. For example, if there is no socket in a dark corner of the room, you must lay an extension cord for the lamp. You probably won't connect very many electronic devices in a bathroom. A living room is usually equipped with many devices and is occasionally rearranged. Many sockets offer flexibility here. TIP:Sockets are very cheap to buy compared to the whole building. Do not plan too tightly, but generously. But positioning also plays an important role. Plan ahead with the layout of your home, the furnishings, and the purpose of the room. Think about the different uses throughout the year. For example, the following are often overlooked:Sockets in the window reveal to supply the Christmas lightsSockets at ceiling height for extractor hoods, infrared heaters and the likeSockets in the attic (for later expansion)the right sockets in hobby rooms, if necessary for devices that require three-phase currentOutside sockets on the balcony or terraceOutdoor sockets near a cistern or water barrel to feed a pumpOutside sockets in the carport or near storage areas for wood and the likeOutside sockets on the property line / driveway The Schuko sockets in the eibabo® online shopThere are many types of sockets. The so-called Schuko socket is the standard in Europe. The abbreviation SchuKo stands for 'protective contact' and is a designation for the German-speaking area. Internationally, these devices are referred to as type F sockets. Cables with three cores are connected to sockets of this design, one of which serves as a protective contact. This derives leakage currents. The matching plugs (e.g. on electrical devices) are also constructed according to this principle. In this catalogue, we present you with high-quality sockets from over 30 manufacturers, including Gira, Jung, Merten, Hager, Berker, Legrand BTicino, Busch-Jaeger and Siemens.How much load can a single socket withstand?A classic 230 volt household circuit is usually protected with 16 ampere fuses. This results in a maximum load capacity of the circuit of 3680 watts (16 amps x 230 volts). This means that you could theoretically draw 3,600 watts of power from a standard household socket. NoticeWhen it comes to electrical installation, it is advisable never to push individual devices to their capacity limits. In practice, about 2500 watts should not be exceeded at a socket. Based on Central European standards, 200 watts to 300 watts per individual socket is assumed in everyday use. With double sockets it is up to 500 watts. You should take this guideline into account when planning the maximum number of outlets per circuit for your installation.Does eibabo® also offer sockets of other standards?eibabo® is an international online mail order company and offers sockets that are common outside of Europe. The best-known form is the NEMA standard, which is not used in Europe (with a few exceptions). NEMA stands for National Electrical Manufacturers Association and describes a whole range of different sockets and power plugs. These are commonplace in America, such as the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Type B (NEMA-5-15) single-phase AC power is most commonly used in the United States. The regular operating voltage is 120 V, the mains frequency is 60 Hz. NEMA-6 series connectors are intended for heavy loads such as electric ovens. The NEMA system is also in use in parts of Asia, including Japan and Thailand, China and the Philippines. In addition, at eibabo® you will find sockets according to British Standard, Swiss Standard or Australian Standard.How do I integrate a standard Schuko socket into the smart home?An existing socket can be easily expanded in terms of functionality using a WLAN socket. As a rule, these are adapter plugs that you plug into the existing socket. These represent a link between the end device and the socket. An associated application (software) enables the connection to the home network. But it doesn't have to be WiFi. Other models use Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth as radio technology. If your electrical installation is just being planned, we recommend reserving a few sockets for your smart home. Then you have the option of using the corresponding flush-mounted sockets. These look visually appealing like classic sockets. You no longer need an additional adapter plug.Already knew?At the beginning of the electricity age, sockets and light switches were considered status symbols. Those who were self-respecting presented the electrical installation of the house 'surface-mounted' and clearly visible to everyone.The advantages of such sockets are, on the one hand, that the devices connected to the sockets can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and easily via the smart home system. In this way, the devices do not run on standby and save electricity. On the other hand, you can operate the sockets when you are not at home. If such a device is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa, you can use it to control it.What is the difference to a socket with increased contact protection?At first glance, a socket with increased contact protection can hardly be distinguished from a classic socket. Some manufacturers mark such a model with a small symbol on the case.Image: Gira 045327 Schuko socket outlet with child protectionSockets with increased contact protection have an additional internal safety device that can vary depending on the manufacturer. In some models, this consists of rotary vanes. These open when both pins of a connector exert pressure on them at the same time. With other systems, the central insert can be rotated. So no object can be inserted into the holes of the socket. The installation of such sockets is recommended, for example, where children may have access to them. In other wordsThe designation 'Schuko' for protective contact has nothing to do with protection against accidental contact. Protection against accidental contact must also be provided. An alternative to the socket with increased protection against accidental contact can be separate socket protection. These plug into a standard socket and often work with a twist or slide motion as well. It is very safe with socket locks or lockable flaps.Why should I lock an outlet?Sockets are everywhere. These cannot always be monitored. In times of constantly rising energy costs, one often hears about electricity being stolen unnoticed via a hidden socket. This is made particularly easy for thieves if the socket is publicly accessible. Even if animals, children or other vulnerable people are constantly in the immediate vicinity of the socket, we recommend a lock. Lockable sockets or socket locks are available in the eibabo® shop at reasonable prices. Use our intelligent search.Are there sockets for other areas of application?In addition to classic sockets for everyday use, there are sockets in special shapes. You may need sockets in a place where neither a flush-mounted socket nor a surface-mounted socket is possible. A classic example is the junction box. Here you need a socket with mounting options on the DIN rail. Such models are often adapted in width to the pitch units in the junction box. Another special form are the so-called CEE sockets. These are available in the strengths 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A and are equipped with three to seven pins. Different colors represent the appropriate nominal voltage. The eibabo® shop offers CEE sockets and sockets for the junction box in separate catalogues.

Combination rcd-line protection - What are the advantages of a residual current circuit breaker in combination with line protection? Where are these devices used? What specification should you look out for? Read this post to learn more. Electricity is an indispensable part of our life. But the fact is that electricity poses a risk to life and property. The main risks associated with electricity include electric shock and fire. Therefore, you should not be neglectful when protecting your circuits. The aim is to protect people from the risk of electric shock and fire. In the event of sudden ground faults, a residual current circuit breaker is particularly helpful. This ensures that in such cases the circuit is immediately interrupted. Circuit breakers are used in the event of overcurrents. With the combination of both devices you protect yourself against most dangers.Image: Hager ADZ316D residual current circuit breaker with line protectionWhat is combi FI line protection?Combination switches for residual current circuit breakers (FI) and line protection (LS) are also referred to as FI/LS combination switches. This FI/LS combination switch is a protective switching device that combines the functionalities of residual current circuit breakers and miniature circuit breakers. A residual current circuit breaker is an important safety measure when it comes to protecting electrical circuits. RCCB or RCD is also often mentioned. These are the abbreviations for the English terms 'Residual Current Circuit Breaker' and 'Residual Current Device'. It is a current sensing device that can automatically measure and disconnect the circuit. Disconnection occurs when a fault occurs in the connected circuit or the current exceeds the rated sensitivity of the device. Miniature circuit breakers are overcurrent protection devices when used in low-voltage networks. These are also called MCBs. MCB is the abbreviation for the English term 'Miniature Circuit Breaker'. Advantages:The combination FI line protection devices offer the following protection at the same time: short-circuit protection, overload protection, additional protection or error protection, protection against electric shock and preventive fire protection. While a residual current circuit breaker is only used to protect against earth faults and a miniature circuit breaker only to protect against overcurrent, the combination FI line protection protects against both types of faults.Where is combined RCD line protection required?The FI line protection combination devices we offer are used both in residential installations and in industrial applications. You can significantly increase the availability of a system with RCBOs. We recommend fitting a combi RCD to each individual circuit. Errors that occur in one circuit therefore do not impair the functionality of the other circuits. Assembly:The series installation devices are intended for installation in electrical distribution boards on the DIN rail. If you have electrical circuits that must remain functional at all times, a combi FI circuit breaker is the right choice. For example, think of the power supply for your aquarium, freezer or fire alarm. RCDs and miniature circuit breakers can still cause a power outage because they only detect one type of problem. In less important circuits, a residual current device or a simple miniature circuit breaker may be less expensive. However, consider their disadvantages when installing in critical systems.Can I replace a simple residual current circuit breaker with a combination FI circuit breaker?You can, of course, retrofit an FI/LS combination switch or replace your existing residual current circuit breaker with a combination FI circuit breaker. The prerequisite is that the cable sizes are appropriate considering the rating of the combined RCD. We recommend that the replacement be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines. He should check the resistance values and test the insulation. The isolation of the RCD combination switch should also perform within the appropriate specifications.What should I look out for when buying a combi RCD?When distinguishing between the individual RCBOs, please consider the tripping characteristics. Combination switches with B characteristics and C characteristics are available here. The key difference between Type B and Type C devices is their ability to tolerate surge currents without tripping. These are typically inrush currents in connection with reactive loads, which occur, for example, with lighting or motors (capacitive or inductive loads).Good to knowThe classification according to tripping characteristics is based on the nominal residual current at which instantaneous tripping occurs. This is usually less than 100 milliseconds. On the one hand, devices with high inrush currents should not trigger the RCBO combination switch unnecessarily. On the other hand, it should switch safely in the event of a short-circuit current.Type B devices are primarily suitable for domestic and light commercial applications. Here shift shocks are low or non-existent. Choose Type C equipment for commercial and industrial applications when you expect a certain level of electrical inrush current. In addition, there are devices of type D. These have only limited applications. Typically in industrial environments where high inrush currents are expected.Type B devices trip at fault currents that are three to five times the rated current. For example, a 10 amp device will trip at 30-50 amps.Devices with a C characteristic are designed in such a way that they trip at five to ten times the nominal current. A 10A device will respond at 50-100 amps. Choose a suitable model from a trusted manufacturer. The switching properties of cheap no-name devices can differ significantly from the specified values. Don't compromise on your own safety. In this catalog from the eibabo® shop you will find numerous residual current circuit breakers with line protection from leading manufacturers such as ABB, ABL, Busch Jaeger, Doepke, Eaton, Hager, Legrand Bticino, Schneider Electric and Siemens.Why does my combi RCD keep tripping?In addition to natural inrush currents, failure of connected equipment can trip a Type B combination switch in a residential or commercial environment. This is caused by high arc currents occurring at the time of failure. If unwanted trips persist, a Type-C device can replace a Type-B device, especially in commercial applications. Alternatively, it is possible to use a type B device with a higher power rating. Another reason can of course be a constantly present fault current in the installation or in the connected devices. Connected pluggable equipment should be removed in order to identify a defective device as the cause. If this is not the case, an electrician should be commissioned to check the electrical installation immediately. TIP:If a combination FI line protection trips, there is a reason. Increasing the tolerance threshold is only possible within certain limits. In this case, please look at your installation. The normal ratings for cables and wires refer to continuous operation under specified installation conditions. Of course, cables and wires can carry higher currents for a short time without being damaged. If the load becomes too high, please secure individual devices separately.

Cover switch-button-dimmer - Do you prefer plain and simple covers for switches and buttons? Or may it also be something extravagant? We offer a huge range and show you what colours, shapes and styles are there? At eibabo® you will find blind covers and switch covers that make our home functional, comfortable and individually adjustable. This includes covers for room temperature controllers and dimmers from over 20 brand manufacturers at top conditions.PICTURE: Busch Jaeger 2504-2014 blind rockerWhat are covers for switches and buttons?Our life is hardly imaginable without power connections in the house. We operate light switches and plug sockets several times a day. Anyone involved in the planning and construction of a building knows the importance of covers for switches and sockets. Trouble-free functionality, simple design, durability and safety are what count in everyday contact with the interfaces to the power grid. How are these devices constructed? Roughly speaking, conventional switches and buttons consist of an insert, a frame and a cover.The insert consists of the switching technology or the technology for the button and is installed in a switch box.The cover frame forms the outer ring of a socket, button, switch or other insert.The covers fill the frame and ensure that we can safely operate switches, buttons or sockets. The manufacturers have adjusted to the needs of their customers. These offer switch programs with which you can determine the appearance of your switches, buttons and sockets yourself. Covers are available as:Rocker switches, rocker switches and double rockers for lights, blinds, heating and the likeCentral plate for sockets, network sockets and other mediaCable outlet or key switchBlind cover without functionalityCentral disc for dimmers, sensors, temperature controllers Can covers for switches and buttons be combined with frames from other switch ranges?The answer is yes and no. Inserts, frames and covers are standardized, but the details can differ. Why is that? The standard refers to DIN 49073:2007-09. This prescribes the typical dimensions of a switch box (diameter: 60 mm or 68 mm. Depth: 40 mm to 66 mm). The switch ranges of all manufacturers fit into your existing and standardized switch boxes. The situation is different if you want to combine different switch ranges. Although all switch series correspond to the basic installation standard, there are differences in design. As a result, some series are not compatible with other series. Particularly exclusive switch programs are usually also not compatible with other programs. These are usually made of glass, brass, brushed aluminum or stainless steel. TIP:When combining white parts, make sure they have a matching color number (RAL) and the same surface treatment. There may be minor differences. Some covers for buttons and switches match cover frames from other series and manufacturers in terms of shape and size. This allows you to design the control elements in your living room or work area very individually. If you want to combine, we recommend matching the inserts and cover first. In many cases, you will receive these devices as a matching set. This results in the choice of a suitable framework. Many manufacturers produce standardized frames with a cut-out of 55x55mm or 50x50mm. These fit onto correspondingly standardized covers and inserts. Then swapping, combining or varying is possible. If you are not sure, please look at the product description and compare the dimensions given.How do I remove a cover for switches and buttons?You can replace covers for sockets and switches yourself. Please pay attention to your safety, because after removing the covers the current-carrying contacts are exposed. When working with electricity, please disconnect the power supply beforehand. In most cases, the cover or the central plate is screwed to the insert with a small, centrally located screw. You can simply loosen them and carefully pull off the cover.cleaningCentral plates, central discs, rocker switches and cover frames are often touched. We recommend regular cleaning. With a rinse cycle in the dishwasher, all parts become clean again.Some materials are sensitive to heat or water. For example, clean metal covers by hand. Please make sure that the cleaned parts are absolutely dry before you start the cultivation. Place the frame behind the cover and screw it to the insert.Is there a cover for buttons and switches for outdoor use?A special feature are the covers for outdoor use. This is due to the necessary protection against dust, dirt and water. The optimal switch range for use outdoors or in damp rooms is at least IP44 splash-proof. This should also have a reinforced frame, be made of robust material and be mountable to protect it against theft. As a rule, you do not receive such covers individually but in a set. TIP:Many outdoor covers are visually very appealing. These can also find a place in the interior design. Please do not use interior covers in damp rooms or outdoors. As a rule, these switch ranges do not offer the necessary protection.Do covers for switches and buttons break easily?Covers for switches and buttons are actuated several times a day, depending on where they are used. However, the loads on the material are low. The high-quality products from all major manufacturers have proven to be very robust in everyday use. With careful handling, the covers can last for several decades. During assembly and disassembly, there is a risk of damage if, for example, you overtighten the assembly screw. Benefit from our huge selection and the low prices for covers from Alre-it, Berker, Busch Jaeger, DEHN, Eaton, Elso, Eltako, Gira, Hager, Jung, Legrand Bticino, Legrand SEKO, Merten, OBO, Peha, Rademacher, Siemens , Somfy, Tehalit and Thebes.

Load break switches - Do you want to disconnect circuits safely under load? Then you need a switch disconnector. But what do you have to pay attention to when buying a load-break switch? Switch disconnectors are available in many different versions. We give you an overview of the different models and help you to make the right purchase decision.What are switch disconnectors?Under normal conditions, load switches can switch and carry specified currents. Disconnectors, on the other hand, have a higher dielectric strength and lower leakage currents in the isolating distance. The switches must under no circumstances switch themselves back on automatically as a result of environmental influences and must have a clear indication of the off position. In a load-break switch, the functions of a load switch are combined with those of a disconnector. So it is a combination of both. The device protects, switches and separates with a safe isolating distance. This means that a load-break switch can also be used to reliably disconnect or switch a circuit under load up to the respective rated current. In general, we distinguish between three types of switch disconnectors:The classic switch disconnectorClassic switch disconnectors are designed for easy disconnection of a system and are used, for example, as a main switch, emergency stop switch or as a repair switch / maintenance switch. These devices are suitable for frequent switching. In the eibabo® shop you can get products for standard applications, for high-performance applications and for remote controls. In addition, we offer standard infrastructure devices for mounting on DIN rails. Please note that with all these devices, the supply line must always be fused separately.Fuse switch-disconnectorThe fuse switch disconnector combines disconnection with a fuse in one device. With this device, the fuse is cut out when switching. This means: When disconnecting under load, a visible arc occurs. Fuse switch-disconnectors are intended for infrequent switching and are used in industry as main switches or in main power distribution. definitionIn electrical engineering, the term 'isolation' refers to the all-round disconnection (of a part) of a system from all non-earthed lines. Load-break switch with fuseSwitch-disconnectors with a fuse also combine the switching function with a fuse in one device. However, the fuse is activated when the device is switched off. This enables you to safely replace the fuse when it is disconnected. The devices are also designed for frequent switching and are therefore also suitable for high-power applications, as main switches and in the main power distribution.What do I use a switch disconnector for?Load-break switches protect people and machines and are used for:Activation of resourcesSwitching short-circuit currentspower shiftingProtection against overcurrentProtection against electric shock These can be used as the main disconnect device in switchgear, interrupting the power supply to one or more electrical circuits. It is possible to switch or disconnect the circuits even under load up to the level of the respective rated current. With a load-break switch, you separate electrical devices, for example for maintenance work and repair purposes. The aim of the switch is to safely stop the flow of current in order to enable authorized specialist personnel to work safely. It does not matter whether it is a simple or a complex installation. Load-break switches offer ideal performance characteristics for industrial use as on/off switches, main switches, motor switches, control switches, repair switches, emergency stop switches and much more. The function as an isolating switch and load switch makes these devices very economical, especially in small systems, because the use of additional isolating switches is not necessary.Image: Hager HAB406 switch-disconnectorWhat is the difference between a classic switch disconnector and circuit breaker?Switch disconnectors and circuit breakers perform different tasks. The switch-disconnector works with the simple objective. to disconnect the power supply. This allows electricians to carry out their maintenance work, repairs and inspections safely. A circuit breaker can take on more tasks than a load-break switch. A circuit breaker connects, carries and interrupts current under standard switching conditions. This is well suited to perform the duties of a disconnector or load switch. Like the load-break switch, it offers full disconnection if required. You can use the circuit breaker as a protective device because it can control the flow of current like a fuse. The device breaks the circuit under unfavorable conditions such as overload and short circuit. A load-break switch does not offer these advantages. Depending on the model, you can control a circuit breaker manually or automatically.Conclusion: A load-break switch serves as a disconnecting device to completely stop the flow of power and is often associated with a circuit breaker or a load switch. The circuit breaker works as a switching device to interrupt the short-circuit current and the rated current. To ensure maximum security, both devices usually complement each other.How do switch-disconnectors ensure safe disconnection of the current flow?Shifting under load is a special process. Sparks and arcs can occur when two conductive contacts are separated. These allow the current to continue to flow, although the contacts are no longer touching. With small currents, a sufficiently large distance between the contacts prevents the sparks from 'jumping over'. These go out by themselves without making a new electrical connection. If this distance is too small compared to the applied voltage or if the contacts are insufficiently insulated, arcs can form.Electric arcAn arc occurs when there is a high electrical charge difference between two poles. To compensate for this imbalance, a channel forms between the poles. Inside, gas (e.g. air) is ionized and a plasma is created. The current can flow through this plasma channel.These arcs must be extinguished using special protective devices in the switch. Load-break switches and circuit breakers are therefore equipped with specific extinguishing agents in order to stop the energy flow of the arc in good time. Depending on the type of circuit breaker, these are air, oil, insulating gas or vacuum. Special chambers for deionization (arc quenching chambers) are typically used in switch-disconnectors in the low-voltage range. These artificially lengthen the arc until the voltage required to maintain it becomes too great. The arc breaks off and quenching plates prevent it from igniting again.Which switch-disconnectors are recommended?Depending on which requirements you want to meet, your eibabo® online shop offers you the right load switch, disconnector or circuit breaker. When it comes to switch disconnectors, you have the choice between all well-known manufacturers. These include ABB, Ceag, Doepke, Eaton, Elektra, Hager, Legrand Bticino, Siemens and many more.To make your selection easier, the items in this catalog are already sorted by relevance.
