Some
of the company's products from the 1950s and 1960s
Sanders produced a wide range of
electrical equipment, from switchgear of all kinds, to
fuseboards, switches, cooker control units, and plugs
and sockets. I have included a good selection of the
many products produced by the company.
Sanders' products were always well-rated and built to
the highest standards.
Sandaspeed and Sandalite fuse units
The porcelain fuse units were
introduced by the company in 1937 and were available
with a rewireable, semi-closed carrier, or a carrier
holding an H.R.C. cartridge fuse. There were three
types. One for panel mounting, complete with mounting
screws, another with front connections at both ends, and
a third with a busbar connector at one end and a front
connection at the other. Sandaspeed fuse units were
rated at 500 volts whereas Sandalite fuse units were
rated at 250 volts. Sanders purchased the ceramic bases
and carriers, and made, and fitted the contacts and
connections.
