EKDB16S-IS Main Switch Consumer Unit with Type 2 SPD 40 kA — 10 to 24 Ways

EKDB16S(L) configuration combines a 100A double‑pole main switch with Type 2 SPD rated at 40 kA, delivering isolation and surge protection in a single compact board. It reduces wiring time, saves internal space, and provides coordinated protection for sensitive electronics in homes and light‑commercial sites. The non‑combustible steel enclosure meets BS EN 61439‑3 and keeps installations neat with top‑mounted color‑coded neutral and earth bars, a removable DIN rail, and backed‑out captive screws. Choose “SL” variants for an integrated door lock to secure critical circuits.
 

Key Advantages
