• Circuit Protection Accessories – Products designed to support safe and reliable electrical installations.

Choosing the right consumer unit and protection devices

Selecting the correct distribution equipment depends on the requirements of the installation.

Consumer unit requirements
Modern consumer units should provide suitable protection for the circuits within a property and allow for future expansion where required.

RCBO protection
RCBOs combine the functions of an MCB and RCD into a single device, allowing individual circuits to be protected separately. This can help reduce disruption by ensuring a fault on one circuit does not affect the entire installation.

Surge protection devices (SPDs)
Some modern consumer units include integrated surge protection devices (SPDs) to help protect electrical equipment from transient voltage surges. These surges can be caused by events such as lightning strikes, power network disturbances or switching of high-powered electrical equipment.

A surge protection device helps reduce the risk of damage to sensitive electrical equipment such as appliances, smart devices, lighting systems and electronic controls. When selecting a consumer unit, consider whether surge protection is required based on the installation type and the equipment being protected.

Installation requirements
Electrical distribution equipment should always be selected and installed in accordance with current wiring regulations and the requirements of the specific installation.
