BG Circuit Protection has undergone a comprehensive evolution, with updates designed in direct response to contractor feedback. Here we learn more.
This newly improved range reflects BG’s ongoing commitment to innovation, safety and customer satisfaction, ensuring compliance with the latest 18th Edition Amendment 3 wiring regulations while addressing real-world installation challenges.
The latest enhancements streamline installation, improve functionality, and provide a cleaner, more organised setup. Whether for new builds, retrofit projects, or future-proofing for renewable energy integrations, the new BG Circuit Protection range delivers flexibility and reliability that professionals can trust.
Key upgrades for ease of installation
Optimised cable entry point
Two rows of enlarged oval knockouts at the rear, plus 20/25/32/40 mm round knockouts on all sides, allow for maximum adaptability of incomer cables.
More space and greater efficiency
The single-module Type 2 SPD removes the need for extra MCB protection, freeing up an additional circuit way.
Enhanced device engagement
The raised, removable DIN rail design ensures stronger and more secure device attachment, reducing movement and improving durability.
Neater installations
Featuring a new segmented rear clip-in cable protector, improved grommet strip, and an optional cable clamp for a neat and professional finish.
Comprehensive accessories and labelling
An updated label sheet with a broader selection of identifiers, plus new accessories like MCB-style blanks and magnetic one-size-fits-all stand-off brackets, provide greater customisation and neater installations.
Easier access and handling
A reinforced elongated lid visor lifting section enhances strength and makes access to internal components more convenient.
Introducing 36 way and 48 way dual row boards
To further support the needs of electricians working on large-scale and complex projects, BG has expanded its range with the introduction of 36 way and 48 way dual row distribution boards.
These additions provide even greater flexibility for installations that require increased circuit capacity, making them ideal for commercial applications, multi-unit residential projects, and installations with extensive electrical demands.
The expanded range ensures contractors have the solutions they need for modern electrical setups, whether they’re working on high-density residential projects, commercial environments, or industrial applications where large-scale circuit protection is required.
Built for solar success
With the increasing demand for solar energy systems and EV charging integration, BG Circuit Protection is built for the future. The latest range includes bidirectional 18th Edition Amendment 3 compliant devices, making them suitable for use in PV and EV applications.
These devices ensure seamless integration with renewable energy systems, allowing energy to flow both to and from the grid, supporting solar battery storage solutions and vehicle-to-grid technology. With the ongoing shift towards sustainability and low-carbon solutions, these enhancements position BG Circuit Protection as a leading choice for installers working on solar and EV-ready installations.
Bespoke build service for complex projects
While BG already offers an extensive range of both populated and unpopulated boards, along with a wide variety of devices, the brand recognises that some projects require a more customised approach. To meet the needs of specifiers and contractors handling particularly complex installations, BG provides a bespoke build service.
This tailored solution allows electricians to order custom-configured boards, ensuring they receive a system that perfectly meets their specific project requirements. Whether working on high-end residential properties, large commercial buildings, or specialist industrial installations, BG’s bespoke service ensures the right protection solution is available for every job.
Designed for future expansion
With adaptability at its core, the BG Circuit Protection range is designed to grow with evolving electrical needs. Readily available accessories and expansion options ensure seamless upgrades and modifications, helping contractors stay ahead of changing industry requirements.
Every product in the range is CE-approved and independently third-party certified, offering full compliance and reliability. Backed up by a 10-year guarantee and supported by a UK-based technical support team, BG Circuit Protection provides total peace of mind.
