A fusebox or, as they're called now, domestic consumer unit, receives electricity from the mians supply and then distributes it around the home. There will be a main switch to manually turn power off, RCDs (residual current devices) to detect leaking current in order to avoid electric shocks or electrical fires, and MCBs (miniature circuit breakers) which cut current if an overload or short circuit is detected. Designed to operate and provide safeguards for electrical items, the unit should be located in a clear and accessible position. Check our range for everything needed to ensure the consumer unit is fitted to the requirements of the building or project.
