EKDB16S-IRS Combining cost‑effective split‑load architecture with built‑in surge protection, this board integrates a 100A main switch, an 80A RCCB, and a Type 2 SPD rated at 40 kA. You save internal space and wiring time while protecting sensitive equipment from transient overvoltages. The steel enclosure meets BS EN 61439‑3.
New domestic installations requiring both split load functionality and surge protection.
Homes with a mix of critical loads (e.g., servers, EV chargers) and standard circuits.
Upgrades seeking to add both RCD protection and SPD in a single, compact unit.
Q1: Does the SPD protect both sides of the split load?
A1: Yes, the SPD is installed at the incoming stage to protect the entire board, including circuits on the main switch and RCD busbars.
Q2: How many free ways are available?
A2: An 18-way model (EKDB16S18-IRS) provides a total of 13 free ways across its 2x8 busbar pins.
Q3: Can I still use RCBOs with this board?
A3: Yes, RCBOs can be fitted on the main switch side for circuits needing individual protection.
Q4: Is the SPD module replaceable?
A4: Yes, the Type 2 SPD features a replaceable module with a visual status indicator.
Q5: Is a lockable version available?
A5: Yes, select the "SL" variant for an integrated door lock.
