Four Lifesavers in one

For four way protection in the home, workshop or garden, the Clipsal Lifesaver SPB4RCD Powerboard is the answer.

Fitted with the Clipsal 418RC Safety Switch Plug, the Lifesaver Powerboard also features a built-in overload circuit breaker. This circuit breaker is designed to cut off power if a dangerous overload current occurs.

Cord Sets

Clipsal’s Lifesaver 800RC Series Heavy Duty Cord Sets protect you against the very real risk of electrocution when working with electrical products in the garden, workshop or out on the building site.

Available in 3 sizes, the 800XHD10RC, 800HD20RC and 800HD30RC are each fitted with the compact Clipsal 418RC Series Safety Switch Plug.

The 800XHD10RC is a 250V, 15 amp. cord set that’s ideal for the home workshop when using extra heavy duty equipment such as welders, cut-off saws and compressors. The 800HD20RC and 800HD30RC are 250V, 10 amp. cords designed for smaller power tools such as drills, sanders and electric garden products.

The Perfect Combination of Safety and Style

The new Clipsal 2025RC Series Lifesaver Power Outlet offers the best of both worlds, the protection and security of the Lifesaver Range together with the fashion and flexibility of our 2000 Series products.

The 2025RC offers a simple method of single circuit protection, so that in the event of a fault, only the directly affected outlets are disconnected.

Easy to install, the 2025RC fits all standard mounting brackets and accessories and if wired appropriately, will offer the same high level of protection to all ‘downstream’ outlets on the same circuit.

This single circuit protection means less likelihood of tripping from an accumulation of minor leakages.

Additional Benefits

A Lifesaver Power Outlet will also cut power to your expensive electrical equipment in the event of a fault to earth. This protects appliances against damage and your home against fire resulting from faults of this nature. The 2025RC can also be used to test appliances for faults.
(A 10 milliamp model, the 2025RC10,
is available for hospitals and similar locations).

The Fashionable Lifesaver

The 2025RC is totally compatible with other products and accessories in the Clipsal 2000 Series. Four colours are available as standard; White Electric, Soft Grey, Cream and Desert Sand. A range of other colours and finishes is also available. Please refer to the Trade Pricing Guide for any applicable surcharges.

Lifesaver Protection in a Portable Power Outlet

Compact and lightweight, Clipsal’s Lifesaver 485 Series Portable Power Outlets are great protection when working outdoors or when using an extension cord.
The 485 Series offers two or four double pole switched socket outlets with either 10 or 15 amp. overload protection, all with 30mA sensitivity. (A 10mA model is available for use in hospitals.)

The Combined Residual Current Device/Miniature Circuit Breaker units of the 485 Series are mounted on the side of the housing and protected by a clear cover flap that reduces the risk of damage through knocks or dirt and dust intrusion.
The body housing is of robust construction and features a stable base and a handy wrap-around for the unit’s 1.8 metre flexible cord. The outlets are cleverly positioned well above ground level, out of the way of dust, dirt and water.

Hints for electrical safety

1. Although Australia has one of the safest power systems in the world, electricity should never be taken for granted, even when using safety switches.
2. Test your Clipsal Safety Products on a monthly basis by operating their inbuilt test function.
3. All fixed wiring electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor.
4. Always switch off a power outlet before you plug in or unplug any power tool or appliance.
5. Fuses and circuit breakers are not safety switches. They are designed to safeguard electrical circuits from overloading to protect property, not people.
6. Never use a power tool or appliance that you know is faulty or has a frayed cord.
7. Never try to fix a faulty power tool or appliance yourself, leave it to the experts.
8. Be aware of overhead or underground power lines and never work near them.
9. Common sense goes a long way towards electrical safety. Never forget to use it.
10. If in doubt about any aspect of electricity or electrical safety, contact a licensed electrical contractor.

The trip current level of the Clipsal Lifesaver Range of products is 30 milliamps, or 30 thousandths of an ampere, a minuscule amount when you consider that many power tools and appliances use up to 10 ampere.
