Frequently Asked Questions
-
What minimum backbox depth is required for the CMA786 installation?
Requires 25mm minimum backbox depth for flush mounting. Standard 35mm backbox provides optimal cable management space for the integrated USB electronics.
-
Can both USB ports charge simultaneously at full amperage?
Type-C delivers 3A independently. Type-A provides 2.4A when used alone or 1.2A when both ports charge simultaneously, totaling 4.2A maximum output.
-
What torque setting should be used for terminal connections?
Terminal screws require 1.2Nm torque for secure connections. Terminals accept 3 x 2.5mm² solid conductors or 2 x 4mm² for higher load circuits.
-
Is this socket suitable for kitchen installations?
Yes, IP20 rating suitable for dry indoor locations. Antimicrobial coating provides 99.9% kill rate against bacteria including MRSA, E-Coli and Salmonella.
-
Does the CMA786 meet current Building Regulations Part P requirements?
