An updated version of the long-established Exel 2 brand of switch-disconnectors and switch-disconnector-fuses, has been announced by Eaton MEM Circuit Protection and Control:
Eaton MEM Circuit Protection and Control’s Exel 2 includes new features aimed at making installation easier, together with a more modern styling.
The Exel brand is so well-known in the electrical industry that electrical contractors often just ask for ‘Exel’ at trade counters, without stipulating the product.
Features which have contributed to the success of Exel include:
- Robust sheet steel enclosures
- Generous wiring space
- Reliable quick make and break switching mechanism
- A wide choice of ratings, from 20A to 125A
- Specification that exceeds BS EN 60947-3
- Three-year warranty when fitted with Eaton MEM fuses.
Now Exel 2 retains all these features but projects a more modern image with a new lid label, and handle label, black gasketing and white porcelain components internally. The enclosure now boasts a new, hard-wearing powdercoat paint finish.
New features that help installers:
Important new installer features include box clamp earthing terminals for easier, faster earth termination - there is no need to crimp cable lugs onto the cable. Endplates are no longer pre-drilled because it is frequently quicker and easier to drill entries on site to suit the precise location of the incoming cable or conduit. Clear rating information is printed on the front of the switch for easy identification when working in dark, inaccessible locations.
Exel 2 switch-disconnectors and switch-disconnector-fuses are available in 20A, 32A, 63A and 100A ratings in SPSN, DP and TPN configurations and 125A TPN. All have a short-circuit breaking capacity of 80kA.
Switches are quick-make quick-break types, suitable for AC or DC applications. They are fully rated for AC22A utilisation category and TPN units have AC23A (frequent operation) ratings of 11A, 22A, 39A, 52A and 52A respectively. They are all type-tested for compliance with BS EN 60947-3.
