BSR 45A Cooker Control
The Powermax BSR Cooker Unit manages high-current electrical loads for commercial and residential kitchen appliances. This 45A double pole switch facilitates safe isolation of heavy-duty equipment like electric ovens and hobs. The unit operates on a standard 250V AC frequency. It meets rigorous BS 4177 standards for cooker control units.
Key Features
-
Double Pole Isolation
The switching mechanism disconnects both live and neutral lines simultaneously to ensure total circuit safety during maintenance. -
High-Capacity Terminals
- Accommodates large cross-section cables up to 10mm²
- Brass terminal construction ensures low resistance connections
- Captive screw design prevents component loss during installation
-
Integrated Status Indicator
A clear neon lamp provides immediate visual confirmation of the circuit power status for the end user. -
Durable Housing Material
The high-impact polycarbonate casing resists mechanical stress and maintains color stability over long-term use.
Engineers prioritize this model for its robust internal architecture. The heavy-duty terminals minimize heat buildup during peak loads. This design prevents terminal degradation over years of continuous operation. The internal arc shields prevent cross-phase arcing during switching events. This is critical for appliances exceeding 10kW power ratings.
The mounting holes follow the standard 120.6mm spacing. This ensures compatibility with standard UK-style twin gang back boxes. The rear housing provides sufficient clearance for wire routing. This reduces the risk of pinching or mechanical strain on the conductors. The front plate maintains a low profile while housing the heavy-duty switch mechanism.
Procurement managers value the bulk packaging options for large-scale projects. Each unit undergoes factory testing for dielectric strength and insulation resistance. The mechanical action of the switch provides tactile feedback. This ensures the contact is fully engaged or disengaged. The flame-retardant properties of the casing add a necessary layer of fire safety to the kitchen environment.

I bought this for my new kitchen renovation in Syokimau. The build quality of this Powermax unit is quite solid compared to the cheaper brands I’ve seen in the local hardware shops. It handles the load from my 4-plate electric cooker without heating up at all. The white finish is very clean and matches the wall tiles perfectly. Good value for money for any homeowner.

Installed this 45A switch last week. The terminals inside are spacious enough for the heavy gauge cables, which made the electrician’s work much easier. It looks decent on the wall and the double pole switch has a very firm, high-quality click. Only gave it 4 stars because the screws provided were a bit short for my deep backbox, but otherwise it’s a great product.

Solid cooker unit. It is doing the job well for my apartment project and the delivery to Westlands was very fast.
