Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a UK 13A socket used in a US-format plate?
The reason why certain projects such as hotels catering to British visitors, contractors following UK specifications, or suppliers servicing different market segments may require 13A sockets with a design developed for the other series is that in the case of using the UK insert with the regular module, the visual integrity remains intact, while the electrical parameters adhere to local norms.
What load can a 13A socket carry?
A 13-amp socket at 250V is designed for appliances that use 13 amps or less, which covers most appliances in the home. Any circuit providing such sockets needs to be protected by a suitable upstream protective device, since the rating of the socket defines what can be connected and not what the cable can take safely.
Is a tempered glass panel safe on a wall switch?
Correct. The A40 series has the toughened glass with polished edges glued onto a PC base. Tempered glass is many times sturdier than common glass – if overloaded, it breaks into tiny pieces with no sharp edges instead of becoming jagged shards, and its inability to conduct electricity makes it safe from the electric hazard.
What is the difference between the A40 Glass Series and other GOG wall plate series?
The primary variations across models occur within the area of the front panel and materials used in their production. In the case of the A40 Glass Series, the front panel is made out of tempered glass, which ensures a perfect glass line — a sleek tempered glass surface for advanced residential interiors where not only the function is important, but also the look of the surface itself. Other GOG models might have different surface finishes — for instance, they can be made of brushed stainless steel, tempered glass, or aluminum, but the dimensions of units and mechanisms of the whole design remain unchanged, so it is possible to shift from one series to the other without having to redesign the installation.
Can I order mixed models and colours in one shipment?
Yes. The minimum order quantity is applied to each item separately, not to the whole order. Therefore, within one container, you can find several different socket functions, types and hues from the same family of products. You can see that the way most of distributors order is via an order of switches with 13 amp UK sockets for one country, and then other functions for other countries, and all that is sent in one delivery.
