Description

When the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations were introduced in 2008, it stated that all circuits should be protected against earth leakage and to ensure this is the case, the split load consumer unit was introduced. The breaker panel is the part of a consumer unit that contains the circuit breakers. It isn’t possible to replace a fuse box with just a breaker panel (you need the entire unit) so the cost to replace a fuse box with a breaker panel is similar to replacing one with a consumer unit. Cost of replacing fuse box with circuit breaker Consideration must be given to circuit design in this scenario. You should not, for example, put all the lighting circuits on the same RCD as an earth leakage fault on one of those circuits will cut power to the whole bank, leaving you without any lighting.

Type 2 surge protection devices, also known as "secondary protection devices," are installed downstream from the Type 1 SPDs and protect against the smaller surges that may pass through the Type 1 SPDs. They are typically installed at the distribution board or sub-distribution board level and have a lower discharge capacity than Type 1 SPDs, typically ranging from 10 to 40 kA. This seems to suggest that moving forward, RCBO’s should be used for individual final circuits as opposed to RCD’s as the earth leakage across several appliances on the same RCD could be enough to tip the balance and cause nuisance tripping, especially where washing machines, dishwashers and the similar that can earth leak quite a bit, up to 5mA in some cases are featured. Many electricians consider this the best circuit protection solution as each circuit is protected from overload and earth leakageindividually, thus preventing nuisance tripping caused by earth leakage on other circuits. Following the latest amendment to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, Main Switch Consumer units are now commonly populated with Type 2 Surge Protection Devices as standard. Of these boards, the FuseBox F2014MX is proving to be a very popular fuse board. It features 14 usable ways which can be populated with Type A RCBOs or the latest Arc Fault Detection devices (AFDD).

Useful fuse box or consumer unit replacement checklist

What this seems to suggest is that, although it isn’t at present, may be at some point in the future, split load boards may be deemed non-compliant and will need to be changed. This is something to bear in mind. For this example we are going to keep things very simple and use a consumer unit with 1 main double pole isolations switch, 1 RCD and a couple of MCB’s just to show how they are connected. Essentially each MCB is wired up in the same way so can just be repeated.

To do away with any potential issues such as these, the older fuse wires have been replaced by their modern equivalent, the MCB or miniature circuit breaker. Just as a matter of interest, DIN stands for Deutsche Industrie Norm and, originating in Germany, is any of a series of technical standards, used internationally, to designate electrical connections, film speeds and paper sizes. What are the Different Types of Consumer Unit? Note: Depending on what the circuit will be running will depend on what size MCB is installed. Again, your electrician will know exactly what MCB can be used for a given circuit. If this isn’t done then it can lead to all manner of issues when reconnecting and testing the circuits, so it’s best for both your electrician and also you to know if there are issues before any work is started.

Once all of the MCB’s have been connected up, the final job then is to simply connect the earth running from the meter to the earth bar in the consumer unit
