Why Choose the Chint SNE3-2130SP RCD Socket?
The Chint SNE3-2130SP is a robust 13 A 1-gang switched metal RCD socket designed to provide a convenient power outlet with integrated residual current protection. Part of the Chint Shield SNE3 series, it combines durable metal construction with a sensitive Type A RCD, making it suitable for commercial, workshop, utility and light industrial electrical installations.
The SNE3-2130SP incorporates a 30 mA Type A latching/passive RCD with double-pole contact break. Type A residual current protection is designed to respond to alternating sinusoidal residual currents as well as pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for supplying a wide range of contemporary electrical and electronic equipment.
Rated at 13 A and 240 V AC, 50 Hz, the SNE3-2130SP provides fast residual current protection in a convenient single-gang format. Its metal construction makes it particularly suitable for installations where greater mechanical durability is desirable while providing local RCD protection directly at the socket outlet.
Key Advantages
- Combines a 13 A switched socket and 30 mA RCD in one compact accessory.

Integrated RCD Protection for Electrical Equipment
An RCD socket provides local residual current protection directly at the power outlet. The Chint SNE3-2130SP monitors the circuit for an imbalance between the live and neutral conductors caused by current leaking to earth and disconnects the supply when the residual current reaches the RCD operating threshold.
The combination of Type A protection, double-pole contact break and robust metal construction makes the SNE3-2130SP particularly useful in workshops, commercial premises and other locations where a durable socket outlet with local residual current protection is required. Its latching design is intended to remain set following an interruption to the incoming supply, allowing connected equipment to receive power again when the supply is restored.
Typical Applications
- Workshops and garages.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Light industrial premises.
- Utility and maintenance areas.
- Fixed electrical installations.
- Power supplies for electrical and electronic equipment.
- Locations requiring local 30 mA residual current protection.
