FAQs
What is a switched spur connection unit used for?
A switched spur connection unit is used to provide a dedicated, fused connection and a means of isolation (a switch) for fixed appliances, such as electric heaters, directly from the mains electrical supply.
Can I use this to connect a lamp?
No, this unit is specifically designed for fixed appliances and is not suitable for connecting portable items like lamps, which typically use a plug and socket.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?
No, this Crabtree switched spur connection unit is designed for internal use only and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor elements.
Do I need an electrician to install this?

What voltage does it operate on?
This unit operates on a standard 240V AC power supply.
Troubleshooting
Appliance not receiving power
Ensure the switch on the spur unit is in the 'ON' position. Check that the fuse within the spur unit (if applicable) is intact. Verify power supply at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.
Switch feels stiff or loose
Do not force the switch. This may indicate an internal issue or improper installation. Disconnect power and have the unit inspected by a qualified electrician.
