Powermax Spur Switch
The Powermax 13A Spur Switch provides a high-integrity fused connection for fixed electrical installations. This device manages the electrical feed to heavy-duty equipment through a dedicated 13-ampere fuse link. It utilizes a double-pole switching configuration to isolate both active and neutral conductors simultaneously. This safety feature remains essential for maintenance and fault protection in industrial or residential settings. The unit complies with BS 1363 standards to ensure operational safety under continuous load.
The internal architecture features high-conductivity copper alloy terminals. These terminals minimize resistance and reduce heat generation during peak current flow. Large terminal bores allow for efficient wiring of solid or stranded conductors. The front plate consists of flame-retardant polycarbonate. This material selection provides excellent dielectric strength and structural rigidity. A captive fuse carrier prevents accidental loss of the fuse compartment during maintenance cycles.
Network engineers and facility managers require reliable power distribution components. This unit provides a flush-mounting solution compatible with standard single-gang back boxes. The integration of a neon power indicator allows for immediate visual verification of circuit status. This helps technicians troubleshoot power delivery issues without opening the enclosure. The switch mechanism provides a positive tactile response, indicating a secure contact engagement.
Silver-nickel contact points enhance the longevity of the switching mechanism. These contacts resist pitting and oxidation over thousands of cycles. The 3mm minimum contact gap ensures safe isolation even during voltage spikes. This component handles inductive loads effectively. The white finish maintains a professional appearance in office and data center environments.
Bulk procurement requirements often involve high-volume logistics. This product arrives in cartons containing 100 units. The standardized dimensions facilitate efficient storage and transport for large-scale construction projects. Each unit includes the necessary mounting hardware for immediate deployment. The terminal markings remain clear and indelible to prevent wiring errors. This attention to detail ensures that electrical contractors can maintain high throughput during installation phases.

Installed these in our new Westlands office for the AC units and the fixed equipment. The neon light is very bright and helpful for the maintenance team to see at a glance if the power is on or off. Very sturdy build quality, doesn’t feel like the cheap plastic ones you find in some downtown shops. It handles the 13A load without heating up even after hours of use.

The finish on this Powermax unit is quite clean. I bought a dozen for a renovation project in Kilimani and they all arrived in good condition. The fuse carrier is easy to access if you ever need to swap it out. Good value for money compared to other high-end brands that do the same thing.

Genuine Powermax gear. Fast delivery to Thika and the packaging was secure.
Benson Mutua (verified owner) –
My fundi recommended this specific SW-PMSS model for the water heater because of the Double Pole safety feature. It fits perfectly into the standard pattress box and the wiring terminals are wide enough for 2.5mm cables. It’s a reliable switch for heavy domestic appliances.
Faith Wanjiku (verified owner) –
It does the job well and the neon indicator is clear. I’m only giving 3 stars because the terminal screws were a bit stiff to turn initially during installation, but once the fundi got them moving, it worked fine. Otherwise, a very solid product.

You can tell the internal components are solid. I prefer these switched spurs over the unbranded ones that tend to arc or overheat under load. The DP switch gives that extra layer of safety for fixed appliances. Definitely stocking up on more for my next site.
