Questions about Eubiq tracks and power outlets
Everything you need to know about the operation, safety, and installation of the Eubiq power track system.
The concept
What does the Eubiq concept consist of?
The system consists of installing and electrically connecting an electrical track, then adding, removing, and moving power outlets whenever and wherever you wish along the track.
A wide range of Eubiq accessories is also available: universal adapters, electrical outlets for different countries, USB chargers, lighting…
How is the Eubiq track different from conventional power strips?
Standard power strips are generally powered by a cable that is undersized for the circuit breaker's capacity. This cable poses an overheating risk that can lead to a fire if too many devices are running at the same time without the circuit breaker's capacity being reached (so it does not trip). This risk is even greater when multiple power strips are connected in a series.
Our mobile power sockets have no cables: they are connected directly to the rail, which itself is directly linked to the circuit breaker. There is no risk of overheating.
Can the sockets or accessories slide along the rail?
No. The sockets and accessories do not slide along the rail. Simply position them where desired and lock them by turning them clockwise. To remove or move them, turn them in the opposite direction.
Technical specifications
What is the amperage of the electric rail and the accessories?
The current supported by the rail is 32 A, while that of French sockets is 16 A.
How many sockets can be operated simultaneously on the track?
The number of sockets that can operate simultaneously does not depend on the track but on the circuit breaker. Since the track's permissible power is higher than that of the circuit breaker, the latter will trip if the connected devices require more power than it can handle.
What is the maximum length of electric track available?
The maximum length of a rail is 2.40 m for the SFC3 electric segment.
It is possible to connect rails together to achieve the desired length or to go around a room: the electrical wires are connected accordingly to ensure continuity of power.
You can also provide for several separate electrical inlets in order to distribute power across multiple circuits.
What is the rail's IP rating? Is it waterproof?
The rail's ingress protection rating is IP4X: access to hazardous parts is protected against any object at least 1 mm in diameter and 100 mm in length. However, the rail is not protected against water.
With a 230 V power supply, is it possible to obtain 110 V on certain sections of the track?
The track is designed for single-phase current, at 230 V or 110 V. However, it is not possible to combine both voltages on the same track.
Safety & standards
Are the rails and sockets compliant and certified?
Yes. Our tracks are certified according to the IEC 61534-1 standard and our sockets according to the NF 61-314:2008 and IEC 60884-1 standards. Our products also meet BS5733/SS241 and BS1363/SS145 standards.
They are certified by independent laboratories (KEMA/DEKRA, Netherlands). These certificates can be downloaded from our website.
Are there built-in safeguards in the rail system?
No, protection is provided upstream of the electrical circuit by the circuit breaker.
Can the rail be installed in a kitchen? Is it heat-resistant?
All plastic materials used are heat-resistant. However, the standard prohibits the installation of sockets above cooking or water points: when using trunking as a backsplash, these areas must be protected by the SFC2D shutter.
Can network or telephone cables be run along the rail without interference?
It is not recommended to install network/telephone cables near electrical connections. We offer trunking, such as the SH1 or RH1 models, which allow you to separate high-voltage from low-voltage currents (communication cables, TV cables, etc.).
Warranty & Care
What is the warranty period and the product's lifespan?
The warranty is 1 year from the date of purchase by the end user. The product has been designed and tested for 15,000 cycles (plugging and unplugging) under normal conditions of use.
If a part of the track, a socket, or an adapter is defective, can it be replaced?
Yes. Certain moving parts, such as covers or rubber lips, can be replaced.
