Our switches and socket outlets are made from high quality polycarbonate materials, not cheap nylon or ABS. Our polycarbonate materials are UV stable and will not fade when exposed to light.
Our terminal screws are not plated steel to imitate brass, they are solid brass and will not corrode in time like our competitors cheaper alternatives. Our switch contacts are made from a high percentage brass and silver metals, this prevents arcing of contacts that can reduce the life of the switch mechanism.

How can you tell if your 6ka miniature circuit breaker is a genuine 6ka?
Competition in the market place always puts downward pressure on product pricing and quality, as a result many companies resort to overrating tactics – stamping a product with a higher rating than it actually is. Some importers aren’t even aware that their manufacturers have overrated a product they are supplying.
For example, a customer may purchase a Miniature Circuit Breaker that has been stamped 6000A, but in actual fact may only be rated at 4500A. Most consumers aren’t aware of the subtle differences between products of a different rating, they just rely on the integrity of the Seller. As a result, the Seller can afford to sell the product at a lower price, simply because he is buying at a lower price because it is not correctly rated.
Connected Switchgear doesn’t play those games. We refuse to be forced into offering sub rated products simply because our competitors do so in order to offer a lower price product. If you can buy a cheap 6ka circuit breaker, then chances are it is not really 6ka or not approved.
