Grundig Intermed(CE) - In the eibabo® technology store you will find high-quality branded products from well-known and traditional manufacturers. This category of our shop is about Grundig Intermed (CE). The designation stands for the consumer electronics product group of the Grundig brand. Originally, Grundig was a very innovative company from Nuremberg. It was founded by Max Grundig in 1945 and, alongside other companies such as Volkswagen, Bosch and Krupp, was a symbol of the West German economic miracle after the Second World War. In the early years, the development and production of radios formed the basis for rapid growth. Then came tape recorders, televisions and record players. After the insolvency of Grundig AG, Grundig Intermedia GmbH took over the core area of entertainment electronics in 2004 as a subsidiary of the Dutch Grundig Multimedia BV. Since 2008, Grundig Multimedia BV has been fully owned by the Turkish Koç Holding with its in-house Beko Deutschland GmbH. As a result of the merger of the two companies, it has been offering around 500 products for a modern home under the umbrella of Beko Grundig Deutschland GmbH since 2021. The Grundig product groups are divided into the areas of TV, audio, household and body care. The core products are stoves and ovens, washing machines, televisions, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators and freezers, hair dryers, coffee machines and audio playback devices. They are supplemented by developments from Beko, whose range consists of large and small appliances for everything to do with the kitchen and laundry care, as well as air conditioning units. In the eibabo® shops from eibmarkt® you will find, for example, clock radios, hi-fi systems, radio recorders, CD players and soundbars from the Grundig brand, which you can buy cheaply, conveniently and securely and which can be delivered to you anywhere in the world if you wish.

Tactile sensor - Smart, individual, simple, extravagant, futuristic - touch sensors, also known as KNX buttons, like to attract admiring glances and their modern design alone suggests to every user that this is more than a conventional light switch. Rockers, glowing LEDs, small symbols or even LCD displays give an idea of the numerous functions hidden behind many an installation. In addition, there is often a very noble selection of materials such as high-quality metal, acrylic or glass, which always exudes a touch of extravagance. But why are multifunctional touch sensors needed and how do you use their potential optimally? We give you a brief insight here.The basics in a nutshellTouch sensors are multifunctional control elements for the smart home.The design and function selection is huge, from a single button to a control center with 12 or more buttons, everything is possible.You can use it to control, for example, the light, its dimming, blinds, heating, entertainment center, door opener and all other devices in your home network.The button functions can be assigned individually and can be easily reprogrammed if necessary.Integrated LEDs or other displays often show the respective operating status or provide information about errors.   What is a touch sensor or a KNX button?You can operate the end devices integrated in your smart home network with a touch sensor or a KNX button. This can be blinds that you can raise and lower - light that you dim - the heating that you regulate or completely individual, user-defined scenarios. Depending on the model, operation is optically individual. In general, it is operated using a different number of buttons or rocker switches and/or even displays.The different types of KNX buttonsUsing a KNX universal button interface, you can basically turn any conventional button into a KNX button. These interfaces are installed in a deep device box behind the standard button and thus take on the task of the binary input, which converts the classic switching processes into KNX signals.Which doses are suitable?To do this, use a branch switch box with 4 screw domes or a deep switch box or an electronics box. Use our eibabo® search to quickly find the right item.This solution is particularly suitable for the standard application 'basic lighting' per room (see: 'What are standard applications?') or for the modernization of existing installations as well as for inexpensive and functionally manageable system extensions.'Real' KNX tactile sensors are much more complex and range up to control elements with elegant touch displays. Temperature sensors, LED displays and background lighting are often already combined in one device. In contrast to the simple interface variant, there is often the option of providing each key with additional functions, which are then triggered, for example, by a long press, double-click or even triple-click. TIP:We recommend planning well in advance so that you can later fit all the functions you need into your keypad. While some KNX push-button sensors require a separate bus coupler to which they are plugged, the bus coupler is already integrated in others. The eibabo® technology store also has both complete KNX pushbuttons and pushbutton sensor modules. The latter is 'only' about the technology and you can choose a matching design cover yourself. The possibilities are diverse - you can choose exactly what suits your project.The advantages and disadvantages of tactile sensorsThe central control of a large number of actions on different end devices is certainly the greatest advantage. The plus in comfort is combined with the flexible options for changing and expanding a well-planned setup. The disadvantage is certainly the slightly higher acquisition costs of a smart home solution compared to a conventional electrical installation. In the case of units with many keys and each assignment with different control variables (print, double-click), the overview of all the functions and their control can easily be lost.Unusual application examples in everyday lifeWe have already mentioned a few classic use cases. In the course of our more than 25 years of work, we have also been able to implement 'very special' projects. It starts with the smart opening and locking of the cat flap in the basement, continues with the choreographed lighting of exterior facades and doesn't end with the automatic pool cover, the fully automated aquarium or the heated driveway in winter.  You want to know more? We answer frequently asked questions.Nobody knows everything and sometimes there are small ambiguities that prevent us from correctly grasping connections or from deciding on one or the other product. You may also find an answer to your question in the following topics.How are the KNX devices programmed?Many interested parties are quickly startled by the term 'programming', but it's not that difficult at all, because it's not actually programmed with the 'ETS', but assignments and parameterizations are carried out.What does ETS mean for KNX?The term ETS (Engineering Tool Software) means that it is programming software for commissioning the KNX devices. The tool is more of a software for parameterization and basically also suitable for laypersons with an interest in the logic of the KNX.No programming knowledge or programming language is required. If you are interested in the rather simple logical connections of the KNX bus, you are in a position to create a project. Of course, more complex projects require a certain amount of experience. We always recommend having the basic project created by an experienced system integrator. This allows you to easily change important parameters yourself later on, since many things change in the life cycle.Which touch sensor or KNX button should I buy?Well, we can't give a general answer to this question, but we can perhaps provide some impetus for decision-making. KNX push button sensors are available in a variety of designs. The manufacturers offer solutions for every taste. However, you should not only be guided by the optics. In addition to the optics, eibabo® also recommends checking the applications (parameters and functions) provided by the manufacturer for the ETS (Engineering Tool Software). Significant deficits can open up here in the course of a project if the beautiful button were not able to control the necessary actions correctly. Plan exactly which requirements you place on the respective push button sensor and then select a suitable model accordingly. NOTE:ETS is standardized software for commissioning the KNX devices and can be obtained from www.knx.org. With regard to the design, you should also rely on optics that have a positive effect in the long term and not follow every short-term trend, only to realize a few years later that the brightly colored displays and the LEDs for various status messages on the buttons in the wall were a bit too much of a good thing. It makes sense to ensure that displays can be dimmed or configured in different brightness levels and status LEDs can be configured and switched off. A timeless surface design, for example, has simple elegance, looks classy, is durable and has no playful rockers that could quickly gather dust.How do I recognize whether a touch sensor already has a bus connection?Some touch sensors already have a bus connection. If you're not sure, a look at the back will clarify.Image: KNX push button sensor - Jung 4047TSMA touch sensor is equipped with a bus coupling if it has a black and red (or gray and red) terminal for the bus on its back. This 4-wire terminal with plug-in terminal connection serves as a distributor for up to four KNX lines.How do I keep track of the individual functions of complex touch sensors?We would like to encourage you to think: Imagine you come into a room and have to press the small second rocker from the top left on an 8-way pushbutton sensor every day to switch on the basic lighting. It can quickly happen that you accidentally set the pressure point on the adjacent rocker and unfortunately operate the blinds at 11:00 p.m. Not to mention how a guest or child is supposed to cope with it.So it can indeed be a bit difficult to always steer correctly. But: The advantages of the KNX lie in the intelligence of the system, which is implemented by the system integrator based on their experience and your functional requirements. For this reason, you should arrange functions logically or thematically and, if necessary, group them on easy-to-use buttons. If necessary, it is advisable to divide standard applications and detailed circuits into different buttons at different mounting heights.What are default applications? What is the best way to implement this into the system?The first switch box is usually placed on the 1.05m upper edge of the finished floor. At this point you should mount a conventional double button and connect it twice to the bus via a very inexpensive KNX button interface. Of course, you can also mount 2 or 3 double buttons and integrate a 4-way or 6-way KNX button interface. A deep switch box or electronics box is installed as a flush-mounted box in order to be able to place the small button interface behind the double button.Here you save!Combine a KNX button interface with a conventional double button.With the conventional double button, you have more choice in the design of the switch range and, in the event of defects or design changes, you can obtain a lifetime replacement without having to reprogram. You can assign the most important and most frequently used basic lighting to this button or parameterize the button or the button interface with light scene recall. A beautiful flat switch is also very easy to use for guests and children.What is meant by detailed switching on the KNX button?You should mount detailed circuits of the certainly many functions in a room on the 1.60m upper edge of the finished floor and call them up from a room controller or multiple push-button sensor with an optionally integrated room temperature controller (see also our multiple control unit catalogue). A room temperature controller already requires this mounting height for optimal control. At this user-friendly height, you can then carry out all additional controls for additional lighting, blinds, roller shutters, entertainment, etc.Touch sensors wear out very quickly! Is that correct?Like all other technical components that are used more or less every day, tactile sensors and control points in general are subject to a certain amount of wear and tear. However, this is no different than with conventional buttons or switches. It is possible that individual parts that have been in use for a decade are then worn out.Does it make sense to control the heating using touch sensors?Definitely, as a rule, individual room heating controls are also required for KNX installations. In terms of value for money, the combined buttons with room temperature controllers are the best choice, also in terms of user-friendliness.Which manufacturer offers the most beautiful and best KNX buttons?Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we won't take a position on that. In terms of quality, however, all brands perform very well. There is no such thing as the 'best' touch sensor. Each manufacturer has its individual strengths in terms of applications (parameters and functions). eibabo® offers switches from all brand manufacturers (from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten to Siemens). Select KNX push-button sensors in the following versions: KNX push-button sensor, KNX sensor unit, KNX wall sensor, KNX room control unit, KNX push-button sensor module, KNX push-button sensor extension module, KNX push-button 1-fold, KNX push-button 2-fold, KNX push-button 4-fold, KNX push-button 5-way, 6-way KNX button, 8-way KNX button, KNX control panel, KNX button with bus coupler, KNX button module, KNX touch sensor, KNX button sensor plus, KNX glass button.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Touch sensor for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Adapter frameBuilding controlBus couplerBus technologyButton couplerCabel CanalColor displayContactlessControl elementGlass buttonGlass sensorGroup button bus couplerLight scene touch sensorsNickel metallicOutdoor areaPendulum fanReceiving sensorRemote controlRemovable fanShutter buttonSingle rockerSplash proofTactile sensorsTemperature sensorTitle blockTouch sensorWireless pushbuttonWireless solutionfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Tactile sensor:ABBAVM ComputersystemeBerkerbticinoBusch JaegerEatonElsnerESYLUXGiraHagerIssendorffJungLingg & JankeMaicoMDTMertenRopagSiemensTheben
Basic enclosure - Imagine you want to protect electronic devices from water, heat, moisture or touch. These can be standard infrastructure devices such as switches, relays, counters or actuators, or other devices. For this purpose, the eibabo® shop offers high-quality empty housings at top conditions. You will find a large selection of plastic and aluminum empty housings for the installation and set-up of electrical distribution boxes and other electrical distributors.What are empty housings?An empty housing is usually a lockable box that accommodates, protects and encloses electronic components such as switches, relays, actuators, power supplies and meters. The housings can be made of different materials. Appropriate sizes are offered according to usage, purpose, environment and cost.What is the difference between the empty housings?Empty housings for electrical distribution are available in various designs. With regard to installation, you can choose between surface-mounted or flush-mounted installation. Depending on the application, such empty housings can be made of painted sheet steel, aluminium, stainless steel, insulating material or plastic. Choose a material that meets your planning needs.Surface mounting or flush mountingChoosing the right type of mounting should not be neglected to ensure safety and achieve optimal functionality. The surface-mounted version is the more common way of installing empty housings. In this case, the attachment is made directly to the wall and the cables are fed into the housing outside the wall. With flush-mounting, the empty housing is let into the wall. The cables are laid inside the wall. Both variants have both advantages and disadvantages:on plaster:easy installationFlexible design optionsNo major conversion work necessarySurface mount can be annoyingCables can be damaged more easily under plaster:Protection against dust and moistureGreater security by laying the cables inside the wallCan be more aesthetically pleasingElaborate installationConversion work often necessary  TIP:When installing meters, we recommend empty housings with a transparent cover. This means that the meter reading can be taken directly without having to unscrew the cover. Empty metal housingAluminum housing and stainless steel housing offer good protection for the devices inside. Empty metal enclosures are commonly used as outdoor fuse boxes and electricity meters. In commercial establishments, these enclosures are often used to enclose power equipment around the building or production facility. In industrial plants, metal enclosures protect and protect sensitive electronic components from accidental impact and dirt. Collisions with forklifts or other moving machinery can happen at any time. With metal housings, you prevent interference in electrical systems and thus protect not only the technology, but also the people in the vicinity.Empty plastic housingEmpty plastic enclosures are often made of high-density polyethylene, a strong thermoplastic material. This is resistant to cold, heat, liquids and corrosion, as well as being durable and inexpensive. Other plastic housings are made from acrylic, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, or polyamide, for example. The advantages of these variants are:in light weightin cheap pricein the individual formability in the production for special requirementsin the insulating material properties These housings are used wherever no high mechanical or safety-related loads are to be expected. Rather, these empty housings protect against external influences such as contact, dust and water. It is therefore particularly recommended to observe the respective IP protection class for these variants.Picture: Hensel FP 0241 ENYSTAR empty housingWhich IP degrees of protection are recommended for empty housings?The IP degrees of protection classify the protective effect / sealing effect of an empty housing for electrical devices against the ingress of foreign bodies such as tools, dirt and liquid water. IP degrees of protection are defined by the international standard EN 60529.Already knew?The term 'protection class' has nothing to do with the IP protection classes. In electrical engineering, the protection classes describe the protection of electrical equipment to prevent an electric shock when touched. There are protection classes 0, I, II and III and are usually shown as symbols on the respective devices.The rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits. The higher the number, the better the protection. The first digit describes the degree of protection that the housing offers against the ingress of solid foreign bodies. These can be pointed tools, sticks, fingers or dirt and dust in the air. Anything that could damage the circuitry or mechanics of the installed equipment. The second digit defines the protection of the devices inside the housing against various forms of moisture. This protection area begins with light drops and leads to splashes and water jets to submersion.Be sure to select an IP protection class that corresponds to the place of use and the probability of hazards occurring. If a housing is installed in a lockable and always dry house connection room without a water connection, a low degree of protection is sufficient. When used outdoors or in other dirty and damp environments, the IP protection class should be as high as possible. The IP 67 ensures, for example:a tightness against foreign bodies up to dustdevice protection even in the event of brief submersion at a depth of up to 1 meter for a maximum of 30 minutes How should I protect my empty housing from unauthorized access?In addition to protecting the installed technology from external influences, empty housings for electrical devices also protect people. It is irrelevant whether people accidentally come into contact with the housing or want to gain access willfully. If a housing is freely accessible, you will certainly ask yourself whether a normatively flawless locking system has been implemented. At this point it should be said right away that you don't have to worry about it. Protection against unauthorized access is not possible. Nevertheless, all empty housings must be able to be closed in some way. Each manufacturer has its own technology. Plastic screws or metal screws are often used to connect the lid to the box. In other words: Opening and closing is done using classic tools (including screwdrivers) or by releasing locking mechanisms. For security reasons, 'locking' an enclosure is not permitted. In an emergency, access to the internal devices must be guaranteed at all times.Where can I buy cheap and high-quality empty housings?The eibabo® shop offers high-quality, robust and durable empty housings for use as electrical distribution boards, iso housings, housings for field distributions or industrial housings. Well-known manufacturers include Dehn+Söhne, Spelsberg, Rittal, OBO Bettermann, Eaton (Moeller), Hensel, Hager, Klauke, Rose System, Televes, as well as von Striebel&John, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Triax and GSAB Elektrotechnik.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Distribution boards > Empty cabinet you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Arrester housingBase plateBuilt-in housingCable management frameCompensating panelControl cabinet baseCounter systemEngineering centerFiber optic distributorFire protection cabinetFuse junction boxHeadend moduleHood distributorLightning arrester housingMeter boxPressure fan cover setProtective housingScreenSide edgeSide panelSingle housingSpare PartsSplitter housingStand housingSwing frame coverSystem caseVending machine boxVentilation socketfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Basic enclosure:ABLABNAstro StrobelBachmannBoplaCobiNetConrad ElectronicCorningDehnDiverseEatonGSABHagerHenselIlmeIndexaKlaukeLegrand BticinoMicrosensOBORockwellSchneider ElectricSiemensSpelsbergStahlStiebel EltronStriebel & JohnTelevesTriaxWieland
Socket - A socket is much more than an inconspicuous power supply on the wall. Find out here which sockets are available and why you can never have enough of them. In addition to buttons and switches, sockets are among the most important products of all manufacturers of switch programs. A socket is installed either permanently on a wall (surface-mounted socket) or recessed (flush-mounted socket). Sockets can also be part of a mobile line coupling, such as table or multiple sockets. There are also sockets on extensions that are intended for mobile use. A socket is mostly used for the power supply. There are also sockets for telephone / telecommunications and for the data transmission sockets. Devices are usually supplied with single-phase alternating current (in Europe 230 volts) or three-phase alternating current (three-phase current with 400 volts) via classic sockets. There are also standardized sockets for 12V direct current. There are separate socket systems for the supply of higher voltages and currents.Basic information about sockets - in a nutshellA distinction is made between the flush-mounting and surface-mounting types. With the flush-mounted variant, sockets are mounted in switch boxes, which in turn are embedded in the wall. In the 'surface-mounted' variant, sockets are attached to existing walls, usually with dowels and screws.Double sockets are usually nothing more than two single sockets. They obtain the energy from the same supply line. Flush-mounted variants can be optically connected to one another via the frames of the switch range. With surface-mounted devices, both sockets are supplied in one housing.A socket insert is a device for installation in the switch box. It is either attached using claws (clamp connection) or by screwing the base plate of the insert to the screw holes of the switch box. The insert must be supplemented by the frame of the switch range.High-quality moisture-proof sockets usually have a self-closing cover and a rubber seal around the base. They are used in bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms.Outdoor sockets must protect the current-carrying cables from rain and snow. Their housings are often particularly stable in order to prevent damage from mechanical influences.The degree of protection is a determining variable for the place of use. The best known is the two-digit IP protection class (IP = International Protection / Ingress Protection). The first digit stands for protection against contact and foreign bodies, the second digit for protection against water. The higher both digits, the safer. Planning of sockets - there is no such thing as too muchIf I were to build a house again, I would do many things differently.' You hear it very often like this or something similar when you talk to builders. Not infrequently, the planning and implementation of the electrical installation is one of the things that could be better. It is often the insufficient number of sockets that makes everyday life unnecessarily cumbersome. For example, if there is no socket in a dark corner of the room, you must lay an extension cord for the lamp. You probably won't connect very many electronic devices in a bathroom. A living room is usually equipped with many devices and is occasionally rearranged. Many sockets offer flexibility here. TIP:Sockets are very cheap to buy compared to the whole building. Do not plan too tightly, but generously. But positioning also plays an important role. Plan ahead with the layout of your home, the furnishings, and the purpose of the room. Think about the different uses throughout the year. For example, the following are often overlooked:Sockets in the window reveal to supply the Christmas lightsSockets at ceiling height for extractor hoods, infrared heaters and the likeSockets in the attic (for later expansion)the right sockets in hobby rooms, if necessary for devices that require three-phase currentOutside sockets on the balcony or terraceOutdoor sockets near a cistern or water barrel to feed a pumpOutside sockets in the carport or near storage areas for wood and the likeOutside sockets on the property line / driveway The Schuko sockets in the eibabo® online shopThere are many types of sockets. The so-called Schuko socket is the standard in Europe. The abbreviation SchuKo stands for 'protective contact' and is a designation for the German-speaking area. Internationally, these devices are referred to as type F sockets. Cables with three cores are connected to sockets of this design, one of which serves as a protective contact. This derives leakage currents. The matching plugs (e.g. on electrical devices) are also constructed according to this principle. In this catalogue, we present you with high-quality sockets from over 30 manufacturers, including Gira, Jung, Merten, Hager, Berker, Legrand BTicino, Busch-Jaeger and Siemens.How much load can a single socket withstand?A classic 230 volt household circuit is usually protected with 16 ampere fuses. This results in a maximum load capacity of the circuit of 3680 watts (16 amps x 230 volts). This means that you could theoretically draw 3,600 watts of power from a standard household socket. NoticeWhen it comes to electrical installation, it is advisable never to push individual devices to their capacity limits. In practice, about 2500 watts should not be exceeded at a socket. Based on Central European standards, 200 watts to 300 watts per individual socket is assumed in everyday use. With double sockets it is up to 500 watts. You should take this guideline into account when planning the maximum number of outlets per circuit for your installation.Does eibabo® also offer sockets of other standards?eibabo® is an international online mail order company and offers sockets that are common outside of Europe. The best-known form is the NEMA standard, which is not used in Europe (with a few exceptions). NEMA stands for National Electrical Manufacturers Association and describes a whole range of different sockets and power plugs. These are commonplace in America, such as the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Type B (NEMA-5-15) single-phase AC power is most commonly used in the United States. The regular operating voltage is 120 V, the mains frequency is 60 Hz. NEMA-6 series connectors are intended for heavy loads such as electric ovens. The NEMA system is also in use in parts of Asia, including Japan and Thailand, China and the Philippines. In addition, at eibabo® you will find sockets according to British Standard, Swiss Standard or Australian Standard.How do I integrate a standard Schuko socket into the smart home?An existing socket can be easily expanded in terms of functionality using a WLAN socket. As a rule, these are adapter plugs that you plug into the existing socket. These represent a link between the end device and the socket. An associated application (software) enables the connection to the home network. But it doesn't have to be WiFi. Other models use Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth as radio technology. If your electrical installation is just being planned, we recommend reserving a few sockets for your smart home. Then you have the option of using the corresponding flush-mounted sockets. These look visually appealing like classic sockets. You no longer need an additional adapter plug.Already knew?At the beginning of the electricity age, sockets and light switches were considered status symbols. Those who were self-respecting presented the electrical installation of the house 'surface-mounted' and clearly visible to everyone.The advantages of such sockets are, on the one hand, that the devices connected to the sockets can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and easily via the smart home system. In this way, the devices do not run on standby and save electricity. On the other hand, you can operate the sockets when you are not at home. If such a device is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa, you can use it to control it.What is the difference to a socket with increased contact protection?At first glance, a socket with increased contact protection can hardly be distinguished from a classic socket. Some manufacturers mark such a model with a small symbol on the case.Image: Gira 045327 Schuko socket outlet with child protectionSockets with increased contact protection have an additional internal safety device that can vary depending on the manufacturer. In some models, this consists of rotary vanes. These open when both pins of a connector exert pressure on them at the same time. With other systems, the central insert can be rotated. So no object can be inserted into the holes of the socket. The installation of such sockets is recommended, for example, where children may have access to them. In other wordsThe designation 'Schuko' for protective contact has nothing to do with protection against accidental contact. Protection against accidental contact must also be provided. An alternative to the socket with increased protection against accidental contact can be separate socket protection. These plug into a standard socket and often work with a twist or slide motion as well. It is very safe with socket locks or lockable flaps.Why should I lock an outlet?Sockets are everywhere. These cannot always be monitored. In times of constantly rising energy costs, one often hears about electricity being stolen unnoticed via a hidden socket. This is made particularly easy for thieves if the socket is publicly accessible. Even if animals, children or other vulnerable people are constantly in the immediate vicinity of the socket, we recommend a lock. Lockable sockets or socket locks are available in the eibabo® shop at reasonable prices. Use our intelligent search.Are there sockets for other areas of application?In addition to classic sockets for everyday use, there are sockets in special shapes. You may need sockets in a place where neither a flush-mounted socket nor a surface-mounted socket is possible. A classic example is the junction box. Here you need a socket with mounting options on the DIN rail. Such models are often adapted in width to the pitch units in the junction box. Another special form are the so-called CEE sockets. These are available in the strengths 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A and are equipped with three to seven pins. Different colors represent the appropriate nominal voltage. The eibabo® shop offers CEE sockets and sockets for the junction box in separate catalogues.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Socket outlet you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Bike socketBrightness sensorConcealed insertsData socket insertFine protectionFlange socketGround pinHinged cover socketHospitalHousehold wall boxInstallation socketInstallation switchMachine socketOvervoltage protectionPin contactProtective contact wall boxRecording moduleRoom temperature controllerSchuko socketSchuko wall boxScrew fixingSocket connectorSocket coverSpare partSpecial deviceSurface-mounted housingTouch protectionWaterprooffrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Socket:ABLABNBachmannBEGA GantenbrinkBerkerBusch JaegerE+P ElektrikEatonElsnerElsoEltakoEVNGiraHagerHamaHeraHHGJungKleinhuisLegrand BticinoLegrand SEKOLützeMennekesMertenMurrelektronikOBOPehaPhoenixPollmannSchneider ElectricSiemensStahlStriebel & JohnTehalitWalther
Installation switch - Do you still need suitable switches to switch your lighting circuits? These should be of high quality, cheap and usable for different requirements? Then you've come to the right place in this eibabo® catalogue. We light up the darkness. Here you will find information about the different switch types, the areas of application and their special features with regard to the installation.What are installation switches?In electrical engineering, an installation switch is a component that disconnects or connects a circuit as part of a switching process or diverts it from one electrical conductor to another. An installation switch is typically constructed electromechanically and consists of one or more movable, current-conducting contact pairs. If a contact pair touches, the current can flow. If the contacts are separated, no current flows. The devices are differentiated according to their technical design, their switching type and their operation. Connection of the electrical conductors:Here in the shop you will find high-quality switches with screw connection terminals or plug-in terminals as well as installation switches for rigid or flexible electrical conductors. Types of switching are, for example, off switches and changeover switches, series switches, cross switches, multiple switches or group switches. If you look at the operation, then there are, for example, rocker switches, toggle switches, rotary switches, step switches, pushbutton switches, pull switches and switches that work with radio or cards.Where are installation switches used?In the low-voltage network, installation switches are mainly used to switch lighting circuits. The installation switches are available either as variants for surface-mounted installation, duct installation, switch panel installation or flush-mounted installation. For flush-mounted variants, there are suitable switch boxes for solid walls and lightweight walls.Which installation switch should I buy?Choosing the right installation switch depends on various factors. These include:What should be switched (light, blinds and so on)?How should the circuit be set up? Which switching conditions are desired?How should the switch be operated (remote control, time switch and so on)?Is the switch exposed to special conditions (humidity, temperature fluctuations)?and some more Below we give you a brief overview of the various switches and circuits. This should help you to be able to select the best switch for your application.How do the individual circuit types differ?At eibabo® we carry installation switches from the switch ranges of all well-known manufacturers. The installation switches are mostly offered as hand-operated switches for a fixed installation. Many technical differences lead to numerous possible applications and a wide selection. Using the example of switching lighting circuits, we distinguish:ON/OFF switchThis is the simplest of the switching types mentioned. Here, a lighting circuit is opened or closed via a switch. They switch one lamp or several lamps connected in series.toggle switchThe toggle switch works similar to the ON/OFF switch. The difference is that you can switch the light from two switching points. Each changeover switch has three terminals and the two switching points are connected to one another by two conductors. With each of the two switches you can connect to one or the other line. The opening or closing of the circuit thus takes place independently of the other changeover switch. Depending on the switch position, the current either flows through one of the two conductors or not at all. This type of switch is used, for example, in long corridors or between two floors.security at nightMany installation switches can be selected with or without a glow control lamp. Variants with orientation light or switch lighting are often possible.cross switchThe cross switch can be seen as an extension of the toggle switch. With the cross switch you can switch the light from more than two switching points. A cross switch is therefore equipped with four connections. In principle, the number of possible cross switches in the lighting circuit is not limited, but the wiring becomes more complex with each switch. As soon as more than three or four switching points are desired, the circuit is better made with a latching switch and buttons.series switchA series switch consists of more than just a rocker switch. With such double switches or multiple switches, you can switch the corresponding number of lighting circuits separately via one control element (e.g. the ceiling lighting and the ambient lighting in the living room).group switchThe group switch works similar to the series switch. This also switches more than one circuit - but according to the either-or principle. In other words, either one lamp or the other lamp lights up. Both circuits can therefore never be switched on at the same time.Installation switch with special equipmentSpecial versions of switches are suitable for all requirements that you place on your project or want to implement. At eibabo® you can choose from a large selection of high-quality installation switches for different purposes:Button for the installation remote controlelectronic switchesremote control switchesSwitches in combination with dimmers and time switchesand so forth Image: Jung 507 U cross rocker switchWhat do the symbols on the installation switches mean?If you look at the front and back of installation switches, you will notice a number of symbols. Some are used to display the current switching status, others provide information on correct installation. Often encountered are:~ - the wavy line (tilde) represents alternating currentN - the capital N denotes the neutral conductorL - the capital L stands for the outer conductor0 / O - the zero / the big O describe the off position1 / I - the one / the capital I symbolize the on position / ON position? / ? - Arrows in the direction of the connector represent inputs, opposite arrows are outputsK - stands for a 'corresponding' connection (to another toggle switch)NF - is the abbreviation for low frequency Depending on the manufacturer, the circuit diagram of the device as well as safety instructions such as the GS symbol or the ÖVE symbol can be shown on the back.What type of protection should I choose for my installation switch?The area of application of an installation switch is also determined by its IP protection class (ingress protection). This indicates how well the device is protected from foreign objects and moisture. Most indoor switches do not have a particularly high level of protection. You will often find the designation 'IP20' on the device. If you are looking for an installation switch for damp rooms or outdoors, please make sure that the device is suitable for the respective location. You can usually find this information in the product description.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Switch you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Blind controlCeiling fanCentral plateCloserControl switchDesign coverElectrical installationEnergy saving switchHeating controlHeating emergency switchKey switchNostalgia switchRadio fanRemovable fanReversing switchRocker control switchRocker switchShift knobShutter buttonShutter switchSwitchSwitch control switchSwitch insertSwitch rangeThermostatTitle blockTwilight switchVentilation unitfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Installation switch:BEGA GantenbrinkBerkerBusch JaegerElsoGiraHagerHeliosHHGHuber + Söhne WHDJungLegrand BticinoLegrand SEKOMaicoMertenOBOPehaSchabusSchneider ElectricSiemens
Residual current circuit breaker - Why should you never do without a residual current circuit breaker in your installations? And how do you find the right device with the best price-performance ratio? Interesting information about the function and use can be found on this page. Notice:Working with electricity is always dangerous. Always have electrical installations carried out by a specialist electrical company. If you're unsure as a layperson, be sure to invest in professional support. This way you get a working installation and can rely on the installer's warranty if necessary.What is a residual current circuit breaker?Residual current circuit breakers, also known as residual current circuit breakers, bear the official designation RCCB. This is an abbreviation for 'residual current operated circuit breaker' and the devices belong to the superordinate group of 'residual current devices' (RCD), i.e. residual current protective devices. Residual current circuit breakers prevent dangerously high residual currents against earth and thus help to prevent life-threatening electrical accidents in low-voltage networks. These are connected upstream of the overcurrent protection devices in circuit distributors.At eibabo® you will find not only a large selection of residual current circuit breakers, but also other protective devices such as residual current protective adapters, residual current protective plugs, automatic circuit breakers and automatic personal protection.Is an RCD and an RCCB the same thing?In colloquial German, the term 'FI switch' is still very common. The 'F' stands for error and the 'I' for the symbol for the current strength. Ultimately, it's just another name for the same device.Picture: Eaton PXF-25/2/003-A residual current circuit breakerHow does a residual current circuit breaker work?The device builds up a magnetic field around the incoming currents. This is neutralized by the currents flowing back. In error-free normal operation, this creates a balance between the energies within the system, which ensures that a relay can let the current flow unhindered. If a fault current occurs, it will create an imbalance, causing the voltage to drop across the relay and its auxiliary contacts to break the circuit. As a result, the switch shuts down the system within tenths of a second without auxiliary power.Is the use of a residual current circuit breaker mandatory?It all depends on which country you are in. There are national regulations for this. In Great Britain, the simpler and smaller electronic residual current circuit breakers are currently still common. In principle, however, the use of these devices is mandatory in many countries for new installations, modernizations or far-reaching changes for private households, commercial units and industrial plants in addition to the installed overcurrent protection devices.In Germany, this applies, for example, to socket circuits up to 32 A and lighting circuits in apartments as well as for commercial buildings, schools and training centers, baths and swimming pools as well as fire-prone business premises and systems. Notice:Old systems that corresponded to the applicable standards at the time of their construction usually have grandfathering. You may continue to operate, maintain and repair them, but not fundamentally expand or change them.i have backups Can I then do without the residual current circuit breaker?Irrespective of the fact that residual current circuit breakers are necessary for the technical acceptance of the system, they fulfill a different task compared to normal fuses and cannot be omitted. Normal home fuses are also known as circuit breakers. Their function can already be derived from this. They protect power lines from short circuits. They interrupt the circuit even at higher currents and imminent overload. This prevents cable fires, for example.Residual current circuit breakers, on the other hand, have the primary task of protecting people and switching them off as quickly as possible, for example if people touch the damaged part of a live line. Because that can be life-threatening. The switch is also used for fire protection. Small fault currents that do not trigger a normal house fuse are prevented.Which type of residual current circuit breaker is the right one for end users?There are very different models on the market, each with individual characteristics. A basic distinction is made between types A, A-EV, AC, B, B+, F and S. Type A is the most common variant for use in classic households, in commerce, in public facilities, functional buildings and industrial plants. This is a pulsating current-sensitive switch that detects alternating currents and pulsating DC residual currents. The value at which the switch should trip is 30 mA (milliamps) in normal use. It is therefore necessary to install a switch with a rated fault current of 30 mA.Rated current and rated residual current ? what is the difference?Both key figures are crucial for choosing the right circuit breaker. The rated current is the maximum voltage that can be conducted via the residual current circuit breaker per phase conductor. The rated residual current describes the maximum measured difference between incoming and outgoing currents before a residual current circuit breaker has to trip at the latest.AssemblyA residual current circuit breaker is typically installed in the meter cabinet / electrical distribution box. The position is directly behind the electricity meter and in front of the classic circuit breakers.The switch thus covers all circuits in a system, regardless of whether they are inside a building or outside. However, it is advisable to use several separate residual current circuit breakers and fuses depending on use. In many countries and regions it is even mandatory to equip special areas with their own residual current circuit breaker.Interesting - short and sweetAre additional protective measures possible?If you want to further increase the scope of protection of your electrical installation, you can equip personal protection sockets or socket strips with a residual current circuit breaker with a rated residual current of 10mA to 30mA. What additional protection do residual current circuit breakers offer?The special properties of residual current circuit breakers include personal protection against life-threatening currents and protection against fires that can be caused by earth fault currents, for example. How do residual current circuit breakers work?Due to the low tripping currents of 10mA to 500mA, the use of residual current circuit breakers means that the currents at the fault location are not as high. Are there performance differences in residual current circuit breakers?You can get the devices here in the shop in different versions: 16 A, 25 A, 40 A, 63 A and 100 A (ampere). The ampere rating of the device indicates the nominal current for which the residual current circuit breaker is designed and, along with the selection of the triggering rated residual current, represents one of the most important parameters in the purchase decision. Who Makes Reliable RCDs?We only carry high-quality devices from well-known manufacturers such as Siemens, ABB Stotz S&J, Doepke, Schneider Electric and Eaton (Moeller), Jung, Hager and ABL Sursum. Good to knowWhen choosing a residual current circuit breaker, please take its dimensioning into account. The circuit breaker must never be designed smaller than the upstream fuse, otherwise it will be overloaded.By the way: The forerunner of modern residual current circuit breakers is a German development from 1903. The principle of residual current protection goes back to a development by Sigmund Schuckert from Nuremberg, who had a corresponding device patented under the name summation current circuit for earth fault detection. The technology was then continuously further developed and in 1957 the Austrian Gottfried Biegelmeier presented the residual current circuit breaker in its current form.What effect does charging an electric car have on the residual current circuit breaker?Usually the purchase of an electric car has no effect on the circuit breaker. Nevertheless, care must be taken to ensure that protection against DC residual current is guaranteed during multi-phase charging. A type A circuit breaker does not offer such protection, but don't worry: plug-in hybrid vehicles typically charge in a single phase and are therefore technically hardly different from other household appliances. Pure electric cars that are capable of multi-phase charging cannot be connected directly to the house voltage. This requires either a wall box or at least a mobile charging cable with charging control, which then connects to a conventional 16A or 32A CEE socket. In both cases, the control unit of the charging technology should have a corresponding integrated DC fault current detection (DC fault protection). With professional installation of the wall box or the CEE socket, a simple type A residual current circuit breaker is sufficient in addition to the corresponding miniature circuit breaker.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Circuit breakers and fuses > Residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Adapter plugCircuit breakerDifferential currentEarth leakage circuit breakerElectric charging stationHeat pump systemsIntermediate switchMain residual current circuit breakerPersonal protection machineRail mounted devicesRCCBResidual Current DeviceARCCBResidual Current DeviceBRCCBResidual Current DeviceFRCD switchResidual currentResidual current adapterSafety switchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Residual current circuit breaker:ABBBachmannBerkerDoepkeEatonGiraHagerJungSchneider ElectricSiemens
