## Description

MK Electric has always been at the forefront of technical innovation, especially when it comes to making weatherproof sockets and switches that are perfect for outdoor applications or damp and dusty environments. MK Electric is pleased to introduce its MK Masterseal Plus range, a range of IP-rated products that have been tested to levels well in excess of British Standards to ensure users are safeguarded in the harshest of environments MK Masterseal Plus has been specifically developed for use in both outdoor and indoor environments, and where wiring devices and accessories would be at risk from penetration by dust or water. With a rating of IP66, Masterseal Plus offers total protection against dust, and is protected against high-pressure jets of water from any direction. MK Masterseal Plus sockets can seal around virtually any standard 13 amp plug, including moulded plugs, allowing safe connection for any appliance. Masterseal Plus enclosures are made from recycled polycarbonate, one of the toughest thermoplastics available. With its robust construction and superb temperature tolerance, MK Masterseal Plus will not discolour, crack or fade in UV light and it will maintain its operation in extremes of heat and cold. An improved catch on the MK Masterseal Plus eases the opening and closing of the lid, whilst ensuring the integrity of the seal. The seal is fixed to the mounting frame, enabling rapid installation and removing the risk of error when placing a floating gasket. The Masterseal Plus range extends to more than 90 product variants and all are guaranteed for 20 years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there room (depth) inside with the lid closed for an RCD plug**
A: I wouldn't have thought that any RCD plug would fit in this unit, with or without the lid closed. I have a B&Q Power-breaker RCD plug and I have checked to see if it would fit and I can't even plug it in, as the bulk of the plug is above the earth pin. As this is an RCD socket I doubt that MK would haveeven  considered anyone wanting to use an RCD plug in it.
I hope that this helps.

**Q: Is this necessary if you already have a circuit breaker in the home?**
A: Strictly speaking yes, because a circuit breaker on its own is not an rcd, but as the term is ambiguous you should get an electrician to check exactly what protective devices your installation has and he/she can also install it safely.

**Q: Is this necessary if you already have a circuit breaker in the home?**
A: It depends. I am not an electrician.

A circuit breaker will trip when it is overloaded but the time taken to trip can be relatively long duration.
A RCD (residual current device) works in different way and will trip much faster.
The RCD will much reduce the risk of electrocution as the person would be exposed to the electric for a much shorter time in event of a short circuit.

Human safety points to RCD
Equipment protection MCB should suffice. Note I am not an electrician but am aware of this from health and safety training.

**Q: What is the difference between passive and active please**
A: I believe passive is with no trip to reset and active means if the socket trips you need to go and reset the socket. Application. If you are using say a well overflow pump then you would want to use a passive socket. If say you are using some lighting or General Electric tool then you would want an active socket.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality.
*by B***S on 10 September 2021*

Great quality / good instructions. Will literally last a 'lifetime'. Opening this item is a nightmare though!! But then it is well built! Now that my thumbs have arthritis I use 2 pairs of flat end pliers to very easily open the probably water tight cover. 10/10

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made with 20 year warranty
*by T***M on 24 January 2021*

Well made with 20 year warranty. Being an Active RCD means it is ideal for lawn mowers or devices that you don't want to restart after an electricity power cut. A Passive RCD is suitable for a fridge or freezer which you want to restart after a power cut.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
