DIN Rail Transformer (2nd Generation) for Ring Wired Video Doorbells

Product Information

Echo Show 5 which I can have in my home office to monitor the doorbell so I can see if it's worth running downstairs to answer the door https://www. I'm having a porch built and the wiring for a standard dumb wired doorbell has already been costed into the quote. Or is it better to feed the new CU from the mains input of the old CU and have an RCD in the new CU instead of the isolator switch? The reference standard EN 61558-2-8 does not specify a specific time but states “Bell and chime transformers are generally intended to supply domestic sound signalling equipment and other similar devices where the load is applied for short periods of time. The ring video door bell will be taking power continuously and thus a transformer intended for normal door bells may not be suitable as a power supply to a video door bell system.

this way i think the 24VAC will be protected by the RCD and MCB in the main consumer unit, and can be isolated by the switch in the additional CU if required. I don't want to use the adapter in the box (which delivers 24V / 500mA DC), as I don't want wires trailing unnecessarily. The Ring support site and product naming is absolutely atrocious and my electrician has not been able to advise me. I think I'm leaning on the previous suggestion of using a Ring mains power adaptor which then makes a connection to the hidden bell wire (will be chased into the wall).

Those DIN-rail-mounted transformers for installation in the consumer unit are extremely common across the channel in Europe; so what's absolutely normal over there appears unusual in the UK.
