Consumer Units

Consumer Units also known as Fuse Boards or Distribution Boards.

Modern consumer units that comply with the current BS7671 regulations have integral RCD protection and miniature circuit breakers that can be reset if a fault should occur.

Many old fuse boards that have rewireable fuses can be a nuisance when the fuse blows as the correct fuse wire needs to be replaced, and this can be difficult at night when the lights are out!!
These old fuse boards do not have Residual Current protection in the event of an appliance becoming live under fault conditions unlike new consumer units that conform to the current BS7671.
