X10 AD10 DIN rail switch

Hi folks

Can everyone give me more information regarding the X10 DIN rail switch - AD10.

I am planning on putting two of these in an IP65 consumer unit in my shed, to switch an outdoor sockets circuit and an outdoor lights (non dim-able) circuit.

I am looking for more information on how to actually wire these into a consumer unit. How do they fit and integrate with the board, specifically with the spade terminals on the the lower busbar?

In is my understanding that these are not over current devices, so just trying to get my head round the wiring with MCBs. If I had actually bought one, then it would be probably be crystal clear, but I am just in a planning stage.

Regards

Bob

Re: X10 AD10 DIN rail switch

They don't connect to the busbar.
You need to configure them so that they have the correct overcurrent (and residual current if required by regs) protection fitted to a circuit that the x10 is to be wired to.

Probably best to provide them with their own enclosure, rather than house them in the consumer unit.

These units fit onto top hat rail.

Hi

Thanks for that

I am going to put them in a ten way IP65 consumer unit. That way, there will be plenty room for the AD11 and the appropriate breakers.
