Why Choose the Chint SNE3-2130SM RCD Socket?
The Chint SNE3-2130SM 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 a durable metal construction with a sensitive Type A RCD, making it suitable for domestic, commercial, workshop and light industrial electrical installations.
The SNE3-2130SM 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, providing an appropriate solution for many modern electrical and electronic loads.
Rated at 13 A and 240 V AC, 50 Hz, the SNE3-2130SM provides an operating speed of less than 40 ms, a breaking capacity of 250 A and short-circuit withstand capability of 1,500 A. The metal unit is supplied with a 40 mm surface-mount back box, providing a practical complete solution for surface-mounted electrical installations.
Key Advantages
- Combines a 13 A switched socket and 30 mA RCD in one unit.

Integrated RCD Protection for Electrical Equipment
An RCD socket provides local residual current protection directly at the power outlet. The Chint SNE3-2130SM monitors the electrical circuit for an imbalance caused by current leaking to earth and rapidly disconnects the supply when the residual current reaches the RCD's operating threshold.
The combination of Type A protection, double-pole contact break and robust metal construction makes the SNE3-2130SM particularly useful in workshops, garages, commercial premises and other locations where a durable surface-mounted socket is required. Its passive RCD design remains latched following loss of supply, allowing connected equipment to resume operation when power is restored where this behaviour is appropriate for the installation.
Typical Applications
- Workshops and garages.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Light industrial premises.
- Utility and maintenance areas.
- Surface-mounted electrical installations.
- Power supplies for electrical and electronic equipment.
- Locations requiring local 30 mA residual current protection.
