Armoured Cable and Sockets

Connecting Electricity to Pond Equipment

Electricity can be dangerous and in the presence of water is potentially even more dangerous. Recognising this, new legislation was introduced at the beginning of 2005 which restricts the amount of fixed electrical installation work that can be carried out by other than qualified electricians.
Our Powersafe, Armadillo and PowerBreaker products offer ways that you can safely connect power to your pond equipment within the new regulations.
One requirement is that all outdoor supplies must be protected by a Residual Current Device. RCD's reduce the risk of electrocution from a damaged or broken mains cable.
Armadillo Pond Connection Unit Armadillo Pond Connection Unit(GREO62)
RCD adaptors and plugs are not ideal for connecting to pond equipment since they trip in the event of a power cut and need manually resetting when the power to your house is restored. The weatherproof Pond Connection Unit has an in built RCD that does not need resetting after a power cut. The PCU can be mounted on an outside wall and comes with 3m of flexible cable, so it can be plugged into a convenient socket in the house or garage.

Other features include -

Clear lid to give to give visibility of the re-assuring power-on indicator.

The cover can be padlocked - to ensure that no one tampers with it (Padlock not supplied).

In -built fuse to match the requirements of your pump.

Two separate power cables (1.5mm) can be connected.
