Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the purpose of a fused switched spur?

A fused switched spur allows you to safely isolate a specific appliance from the mains electricity supply. The fuse provides an additional layer of protection against overcurrents.

What is the maximum current rating for this spur?

The Deta Vimark Fused Switched Spur VC1370 has a maximum current rating of 13 Amperes (13A).

Can I install this myself?

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.

How do I know if I need to replace the fuse?

If the appliance connected to the spur stops working and there is no power, the fuse may have blown. You can check by carefully removing and inspecting the fuse. If the fuse element is broken, it needs replacement with one of the same rating.

What type of fuse should I use?

You should use a fuse specifically designed for switched spur units, typically a 13A fuse (BS 1362). Always ensure the replacement fuse has the correct amperage rating for the connected appliance.

Does this spur come with a fuse?

Yes, the Deta Vimark Fused Switched Spur is supplied with a fuse, typically rated at 13A, ready for installation.

How does this differ from a standard light switch?

A standard light switch controls lighting circuits and is not fused. A fused switched spur is designed for appliances, includes a fuse for protection, and provides a more robust disconnection point.

Troubleshooting

Spur is not providing power to the appliance.

Check if the fuse has blown and replace it with the correct rating if necessary. Verify that the main power supply is on and that the switch is in the 'ON' position. Ensure all connections are secure (professional check recommended).

Spur feels loose or is rattling.

Turn off the power at the mains. Check that the mounting screws are tight and that the unit is securely fixed to the wall or enclosure. Loose connections can be a safety hazard.

Appliance trips the circuit breaker when connected to the spur.

Ensure the fuse in the spur matches the appliance's power requirements and is not of too low a rating. The appliance itself may have a fault, or the wiring may be incorrect. Consult a qualified electrician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This device is intended for installation by a qualified electrician. Proper wiring and connection to the mains supply and the appliance are essential for safe operation. Ensure the correct fuse rating is used for the connected appliance.

Care:
