- Hazard
- The product has been recalled as it was discovered that an improperly rated fuse for CAT III 600V applications was installed in the affected products. The breaking capacity of the installed fuse is insufficient for the prospective fault current under foreseeable misuse conditions (abnormal application of electrical installation voltage above 250 volts between A and COM terminals) and may lead to venting or rupture of the fuse and the subsequent possibility of arc explosion. An arc explosion within the product enclosure may readily escape and result in a fire or severe bodily harm.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016
- Corrective action
