Full Description:
Upgrade your home or office electrical infrastructure with the ultimate blend of safety, efficiency, and contemporary interior design. The Schneider Electric Unica X Series (NUX31D20N_JB) sets a new benchmark in modern wiring devices, engineered specifically to handle high-power demands while elevating modern room aesthetics.
Architectural Modernism Meets Jet Black Finish
Gone are the days of bulky, yellowing plastic switches. The Unica X series features a premium, ultra-slim profile finished in a deep, matte Jet Black tint. Manufactured from durable, flame-retardant stainless steel base structure, this switch adds a sophisticated architectural accent to modern residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors across Malaysia.
Engineered for Heavy-Duty High-Load Appliances
Rated at 20 Amperes (20A) and 250 Volts (50/60Hz), this 1-Gang Double Pole (DP) switch is built to safely handle heavy inductive and resistive loads. It is the ideal controlling unit for:
- Instant and storage water heaters
- Split-unit air conditioners (up to 2.5 HP)
- Electric ovens, hobs, and heavy commercial appliances
- Industrial and commercial lighting arrays
True Double Pole Circuit Protection
Unlike standard single-pole switches that only cut off the live wire, a Double Pole (DP) switch breaks both the Live and Neutral connections simultaneously. This provides 100% electrical isolation from the main power grid, drastically reducing the risk of electric shock, earth leakage, power surges, and electrical fires during maintenance or device failure.
Integrated Neon/LED Indicator for Convenience
Never leave high-power appliances running accidentally. The built-in LED indicator light provides clear visual status visibility day or night. Located subtly within the single rocker panel, the LED illuminates when the load is active, serving as an energy-saving reminder while offering easy guidance in dark environments.
Certified International Safety Standards
Safety is non-negotiable when dealing with high-voltage appliances. The Schneider Unica X NUX31D20N_JB is thoroughly tested and certified against rigorous global electrical benchmarks:
- IEC 60669-1: International standard for switches in household and similar fixed electrical installations.
- TIS 824-2551: Rigorous safety compliance certification.
- IP20 Ingress Protection: Guarded against touch and solid foreign objects larger than 12.5mm.
Hassle-Free Installation & Universal Compatibility
Designed for effortless flush mounting into standard Malaysian electrical backboxes (3x3 pattern), this electromechanical single-rocker switch fits seamlessly into standard concealed wiring setups. Ideal for new residential developments, commercial shoplots, or modern home renovations.
Specification:
Q1: What is a 20A double pole switch used for in Malaysia?
A: A 20A double pole switch is primarily used to isolate high-power electrical appliances such as water heaters, air conditioners, and induction cookers by breaking both live and neutral wires for maximum safety.
Q2: Why should I use a double pole switch instead of a single pole switch for water heaters?
A: Double pole switches disconnect both live and neutral current paths simultaneously, eliminating any residual leakage voltage and protecting users from severe electric shocks in wet areas like bathrooms.
