Why Choose the Chint NE2RCD-13A(M) 2 Gang Metal RCD Socket?
The Chint NE2RCD-13A(M) is a robust 2 gang metal RCD socket designed to combine standard socket outlet functionality with residual current protection for connected electrical appliances and equipment. Part of the Chint NE2RCD socket range, this metal-clad version is particularly suitable for workshops, garages, commercial premises and light industrial environments where a durable socket solution is required.
The NE2RCD-13A(M) provides two 13 A double-pole socket outlets for use on 240 V AC, 50 Hz electrical supplies. Integrated residual current protection is designed to disconnect the supply when an earth leakage fault is detected, helping provide additional protection against electric shock for users of connected appliances and portable electrical equipment.
Featuring a durable grey metal-clad construction, the NE2RCD-13A(M) is supplied with a surface-mount box and can also be flush mounted where required. Test and reset controls allow the RCD function to be checked and reset, while a typical trip speed of approximately 40 ms provides rapid disconnection when a qualifying residual current fault occurs.

RCD Protection for Connected Electrical Equipment
RCD sockets provide residual current protection directly at the point where electrical equipment is connected. If an earth leakage condition is detected, the RCD is designed to disconnect the electrical supply rapidly, helping reduce the risk of electric shock associated with faulty appliances, damaged cables or other leakage-current conditions.
The metal-clad construction of the Chint NE2RCD-13A(M) makes it particularly appropriate for workshops, garages and light industrial environments where a more robust socket enclosure is desirable. Its two 13 A outlets provide convenient connection of appliances and portable equipment while incorporating RCD protection directly into the socket assembly.
