These metal or plastic boxes house important parts of your electrical installation to protect you, your family and your home and its contents. Read on below for more information.
A basic consumer unit, will at the very least have protection for overload on its outgoing ways, whereas a newer more advanced consumer unit is likely to have a plethora of protection devices from overload protection, to fault and surge protection.
