BG Fortress Circuit Protection

DISCOVER THE NEW STRENGTH

The Fortress circuit protection range from BG is about to launch its most extensive upgrade yet, with the latest improvements dovetailing the new guidelines around the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, Amendment 2.

These improvements have been made with the help of trusted installers working with our product development experts to help meet these regulation changes, with the aim of helping the installer complete their installations as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Structural & Ergonomic Redesign improving device strength, rigidity & ensuring a secure fit

Additional Strengthening Ribs.

The new lid has been redesigned to add to strength and rigidity whilst ensuring an accurate and secure fit with the base. The base itself has also been beefed up, additional strengthening ribs on the top and bottom faces, ensure the base is rock solid when being secured.

Aperture Recut for Improved Fit.

A step-down aperture has been added to improve the fit around the devices and blanks, when fitting the cover. What is more, a new and convenient lid retainer (available from September) allows the lid to be held open. This simple solution is a significant change when finishing an install, or checking the board, leaving both hands free to access the devices.

Improved Knockouts for optimised cable management & faster installations

Optimised Positioning.

Based on feedback, knockout positions have been realigned on the top and bottom of the base. Why is this better? This change enables the incoming wires to be in line with the offset incomer, making installation easier and termination of the cables more straightforward. This helps to minimise stress on the cable, termination DIN rail, and devices.

Reduced contact points

Making removal easier and protecting the board against damage during this process. For our recessed variants, we have added additional knockouts to the rear.
