Clipsal by Schneider Electric | 30 Series Push Button Dimmer Mechanism 350W | White Electric
The Clipsal 30EPBDM-WE is a 350 W push-button dimmer mechanism, supplied in White Electric. It adjusts brightness on a lighting circuit rather than switching the load on and off only. The 30EPBDM-WE runs on a 220 to 240 V AC 50 Hz supply, with a rated operational current of 1.2 A.
The 30EPBDM-WE is a 30 Series mechanism with a 23.5 mm square face and a glossy actuator. Dimmer control is push-type, so you set the level with the button rather than a rotary knob. It carries a separate rating for each load technology. Dimmable LED at 240 V is rated to 350 W, and incandescent lamps and electronic transformers to 300 W.
Connection is by flying leads, so the conductors join the leads rather than land under a screw. Fixing is clip-in, and the mechanism mounts flush rather than on the surface. The body runs 47.1 mm deep, with a polycarbonate moulding and a net weight of 25.12 g.
Features
- Push-type dimmer control — the level is set from the button on the 30EPBDM-WE rather than a rotary knob.
- Integrally switched — the push button switches the circuit on and off from the same control that sets the level.
- 350 W dimmable LED — dimmable LED load at 240 V is rated to 350 W on the 30EPBDM-WE.
- 300 W incandescent — incandescent lamp load is rated to 300 W, which is below the headline figure.
- 300 W electronic transformer — electronic transformer load is rated to 300 W on the same mechanism.
- Brightness adjustment — the function on offer is brightness adjustment across the circuit the mechanism controls.
- 220 to 240 V AC supply — rated for a 220 to 240 V AC supply running at 50 Hz.
- 1.2 A rated current — the mechanism carries a rated operational current of 1.2 A.
- Glossy actuator finish — the face has a glossy surface finish in White Electric.
- Flush mounting — the mechanism mounts flush, sitting within the wall rather than on the surface.
- IP20 rated — protection covers solid objects only, and the 30EPBDM-WE carries no rating against water ingress.
Where to use
- Dimmable LED circuits — the 30EPBDM-WE suits dimmable LED lighting up to 350 W at 240 V.
- Incandescent lamp circuits — incandescent loads are covered up to 300 W, which sets the ceiling on older fittings.
- Low voltage lighting on a transformer — electronic transformer loads run to 300 W on the 30EPBDM-WE.
- Flush wall positions — the mechanism mounts within the wall, so the face finishes level with the plate.
- Indoor light control positions — the 30EPBDM-WE is specified for light control, so it belongs on a lighting circuit.
The 30EPBDM-WE is rated IP20, which covers solid objects only and gives no rating against water. It is not suitable for outdoor or damp positions such as bathrooms, laundries and external walls. Each load technology has its own ceiling, so anything above 350 W LED or 300 W incandescent sits outside the rating.
