Product Information

Each MCB is installed by clipping it onto a DIN bar and the "teeth" of the bus bar are inserted into the base of each MCB. The resistor passes more current than that required for tripping, and the duration of the test is not limited, so testing in this way does not provide proof that the unit is working to specification. Before any work is done, firstly it is ensured that power to the entire property is isolated so that the consumer unit can be safely worked on. AFDDs are likely to become mandatory in the future as further protection against fires caused by faulty domestic wiring. From RS a selection of 4 way consumer units perfect for use in a range of domestic and commercial applications.

With three neutralbars, which in essence gives three banks of circuits - A 'High Integrity Consumer Unit'offers the best of both worlds. Next, the outgoing neutral F in the image below is wired into the neutral terminal block for the main switch side of the board and the live G is then wired to the incoming live of the RCD.These units are most commonly supplied with a 100A Main Switch Isolator,Type A Double pole RCBO with or without Type 2 Surge Protection.

Changes to the wiring regulations with the release of the 18th Edition of BS 7671:2018 were published in July 2018 and come into effect on 1st January 2019. If however you ignore this and do carry out electrical work that you’re not allowed to, this is illegal and also can invalidate your home insurance and cause potential issues when trying to sell your home.

The live O (either red/brown) is fixed into the top of an MCB on the RCD side of the unit, while the neutral M goes to the RCD neutral terminal block. However, due to the added protection that they give, it’s a great idea to do it as and when you can. Hager consumer units have a range of features that make them a popular choice for electrical installations. RCD’s also work by detecting an imbalance between the Live and the Neutral conductors and this feature is a requirement for all Class 2 double insulated equipment. The new FuseBox F2 circuit protection range of metal consumer units and protection devices, offers flexible versatile solutions for 18th Edition electrical installations.
