Hey Guys,
This is my first post so hi, my name is Craig and I work for a Control & Instrumentation company based in Central Scotland called Au-Automation. I work as an Electrical/Instrumentation Engineer, my job involves everything through Design, Specification to Installation. The majority of projects we have are at Scottish Whisky Distilleries and we are official Diageo Contractors. We also project manage some projects at the most prestigious Distilleries in the world, but thats another matter.
Anyways, I need your help:
We are building a new Conference Room and myself and a few others will be doing the Electrical Installation over the weekend. The existing office has 180x52mm Dado Trunking on the walls, which houses Cat5 points (ethernet), Sockets and an RCD on each.
I have had no problem ordering matching Trunking, Sockets etc, however I cannot find what to do for the RCD! I have even phoned Radio Spares, who claim they don't sell anything to mount RCD's on Dado Trunking!
The brackets & RCD's which we currently have look like this:
As you can see from the images above, the RCD is almost 'surface mounted' in some kind of pyramid shaped braket?
I need to find out where to buy two of these brackets, what they are called and also the RCD. However, buying the actual RCD won't be a problem. It is just finding the braket!
The woman at Radio Spares suggested mounting them on a bit of DIN rail stuck to the outside of the trunking!! I dont think so! Would that even be allowed in the regs?
Thanks alot for your help guys,
Craig
