Given the greater risk of electric shock outdoors, there\u2019s a need to protect homeowners outdoors, too.<\/p>\n<p>According to research 10% of UK adults with gardens have had accidents or shocks using electrical equipment outdoors*. The Starbreaker Miniature RCBO from Crabtree, one of Electrium\u2019s leading brands in electrical components, provides a safer environment when using electrical appliances, indoors or out.<\/p>\n<p>The compact device has switched neutral built in as standard. The technology combines earth leakage protection (for personal safety) with overload and short circuit protection in a miniature size. Two Pole RCBOs are also ideal for electricity supplies around the garden, to safely feed secondary consumer units, for lighting and power in summer houses or sheds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/crabtree2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13125\" src=\"https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/crabtree2-160x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/crabtree2-160x300.jpg 160w, https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/crabtree2-80x150.jpg 80w, https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/crabtree2-150x282.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/crabtree2-266x500.jpg 266w, https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/crabtree2.jpg 273w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/a>These miniature RCBOs measure one single module wide, and are just 90mm in height. This gives installers around 30% more wiring space to work with in the consumer unit, saving time on tricky installations.<\/p>\n<p>Because the miniature RCBO has built in switched neutral as standard, live and neutral conductors do not have to be disconnected for insulation resistance testing.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Crabtree\u2019s Miniature Starbreaker RCBO, submit a request via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.electrium.co.uk\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.electrium.co.uk\/contact-us<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*https:\/\/www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk\/mediacentre\/<br \/>\npress-releases\/2017\/04\/avoid-adangerous-<br \/>\nshock-this-bank-holiday-weekend\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electrical installations in a home must protect people from fire and electric shocks, but what about the garden?
