Temporary Mains Box!

[janner10]

Hi Guys,

Not having much luck finding what i'm after.

I used to have one in the workshop, its basically a black box with 3 white coloured clamps on it to insert your L,N & E when testing an appliance instead of attaching a plug.

Im having no luck in the R&S catalogue if anyone can shine any light as to the proper name / a source.

Probably the same product as TTC has identified, but RS seem to have these three

Kind Regards, John.

The one the OP is referring to is called a Keynector. There's one on eBay (minus the bottom plate so you'd have to fabricate one or fix it to something) here:

I've got a couple of them

Thanks all just the job.

Remember when using these to have some slack in the earth wire so that if the cable is tugged out then the earth wire is the last to pull out from the clips.
