Thermarestor® - the solution

The Thermarestor ® system is a brand new range of products designed to prevent fires within electrical installations from happening.

Poorly made and loose electrical connections can cause excessive heat and result in fire. Thermarestor works as a heat detector, monitoring connection points. If it detects abnormal heat, it can isolate the power, remove the source of ignition and provide very early warning of a potential problem by alerting the occupant via a suitable alarm system

It can be fitted in new and existing consumer units and distribution boards, it's available in a range of sizes and is quick and simple to install.

Electrical fires are big news within the industry at the moment. One of the biggest changes in the latest edition of BS 7671 wiring regulations is a requirement for consumer units to have their enclosures manufactured from a non-combustible material (Metal). This is in response to increasing concerns regarding fire safety but even those responsible for the new regulation acknowledge that it is not a complete solution to the problem, as it will only contain any fire for longer rather than preventing it from happening in the first place.

Thermarestor T1150

A fire starting in the electrical supplier equipment, consumer unit and distribution board due to High Resistance Connection (HRC) or overload conditions, often leads to severe damage to the premise and endangers life owing to the common locations of installation. Normally within domestic installations consumer units are positioned under stairs and in hallways. In commercial premises distribution equipment can be located throughout the workplace extending the risk area.

Thermarestor T1150 offers a significant step forward in the protection of electrical distribution equipment. The faults that can occur within consumer units and distribution boards which lead to excessive heat and / or fire can be eliminated by the installation of Thermarestor System.

By responding to temperatures of 80ºC ± 5°C and before any signs of fire, the resulting activation of the safety devices within Thermarestor T1150 can be configured to operate a Residual Current Device (RCD) or signal other types of Thermarestor Approved Devices (TAD), fire alarm, security alarm and business maintenance systems.
