Modern Consumer Unit Features
Today's consumer units incorporate advanced safety features that provide comprehensive protection for your electrical installation. RCD protection monitors electrical circuits and automatically disconnects power if dangerous earth faults are detected, preventing electric shock and reducing fire risk.
Modern circuit breakers offer more precise protection than traditional fuses, automatically resetting after fault clearance and providing better circuit management. Split-load consumer units allow different circuits to be protected by separate RCDs, ensuring that a fault on one circuit doesn't affect power to other areas of your home.
