Passive safety features

Passive Safety Feature Benefits
Unique design of the 3 copper conductors and carrier (front cover), has produced an extremely high ability for heat dissipation. This safety feature prevents excessive transfer of heat generated by fault conditions from conductors to the plastic housing
The earth contact of an adaptor is engaged first and disengaged last This provides for safe handling of connected appliances under their fault conditions, and so minimises the risk of electrocution when the appliance is faulty
Simple engagement of the adaptor provides handicapped and especially, the vision impaired, easy access to power supply Minimises the possibility of injury to the infirm and elderly
The profile and design of the track prevents access to the live parts by any object other than the Mainline adaptors. Minimises the possibility of injury
Adaptor flexibility significantly reduces need for extension cords, double adaptors and power boards, equipment renowned for causing fires and injury. Higher standards of occupational health and safety
A minimum number of wall penetrations are required compared to numerous with traditional power points, This gives a Mainline installation an increased Fire Rating Classification of walls.
The adaptors tap directly into the power supply thereby eliminating “hot spots” Minimizes the possibility of house fires
