Model: RV-01
*Please note that AMPFIBIAN® will not convert 10amps to 15amps. Users may be limited with the functionality of their connected device if intending on using the device to its full capacity.
The RV-01 serves two purposes, the first is to make it possible to connect your 15amp device e.g. a caravan, to a standard household powerpoint, and the second is to protect the electric circuit from being overloaded by the device plugged into it by using an overload safety device.
The overload protection is what makes connecting a 15amp device to a 10amp standard powerpoint possible as it protects the electrical circuit by switching off if the power being consumed is greater then the circuit's safe level of 10amps.
The RV-01 does not include a Residual Current Device (RCD) so it is not intended to protect the user of devices plugged into it from electric shock. It is recommended that the RV-01 be used in conjunction with devices that have their own RCD protection.
A good understanding of the AMPFIBIAN®’s intended application is of high importance. A common application for the RV-01 would be with a caravan or motorhome that has RCD protection already built into its wiring system. If the intended device to be used with AMPFIBIAN® does not have RCD protection then our RV-02 may be better suited to your needs. If RCD protection can be guaranteed then the RV-01 is the model for you.
