Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Are the WH Metal Clad Switch Sockets officially approved by SIRIM in Malaysia?
Yes, both WH-131GMCSSO (1 Gang) and WH-132GMCSSO (2 Gang) models carry official ST (Suruhanjaya Tenaga) and MS SIRIM certification (Code: WACZ1093192), verifying compliance with safety regulations.
Q2: What is the main benefit of choosing a Metal Clad socket over a plastic polycarbonate socket?
Metal Clad switch sockets feature high-strength steel housings designed to withstand mechanical impacts, heavy vibrations, and physical wear. They are ideal for industrial locations like factories, auto workshops, power rooms, and construction sites where plastic sockets could crack or break.
Q3: Does the package include the metal backbox casing for surface mounting?
Yes, WH metal clad switch socket outlets come as complete surface-mount sets, including the metal faceplate, internal switch mechanism, metal backbox, and terminal screws.
Q4: Can I run electrical conduits directly into these metal clad sockets?
Yes. The backbox casing features multiple pre-formed knockouts on the sides, top, and rear to accommodate standard $20\text{ mm}$ metallic or PVC electrical conduit fittings.
Q5: Can I connect high-power tools or equipment to these sockets?
Each socket gang is rated up to 13Amperes (250V AC), supporting standard power tools, industrial equipment, and commercial appliances up to approximately 3000 Watts total load per gang. For equipment requiring higher current draw, use specialized 15A round-pin or industrial IEC power points instead.
