What Types of Consumer Unit Do We Use?

When learning to understand consumer units, also recognised as fuse boxes or electrical distribution boards, we must first understand that are replaced is because yours don’t have an RCD (Residual Current Device)

Why do I need an RCD?

A fuse box or a circuit breaker is designed to protect your installation and your assets. Visually, these are determined by the cable in the wall and the cooker at the end of it. 

At Electric11, we install an RCD. They are far more sensitive under earth fault conditions so if you or a family member are receiving an electric shock the power trips off quickly before it causes injuries or disturbances to the property or the residents.

What Kind of RCD Do We Offer?

At Electric11, we ensure that all of our RCD’s are reliable and safe to install before installing all consumer units. The types of RCD’s we use typically range, and each has a separate purpose.

AFDD – Tier 1

AFDD, also recognised as Arch Fault Detection Device, is a brand new type of device that does all the jobs of a Fuse or Circuit Breaker, alongside the job of an RCD. Plus, it can detect arching in circuits, which can cause fires if left unattended to. These fires are often caused by poor installation or damaged wiring, and so installing new consumer units such as AFDD’s are important.

AFDD’s can be a significant upgrade for high ignition premises, such as thatched buildings for instance, where a fire risk is much more likely to cause significant damage to a property or residents.

RCBO – Tier 2

RCBO, also recognised as the Residual Current Breaker & Overload, is an RCD incorporated into a Circuit breaker.

The RCBO is a great new model for domestic properties as it directs attention towards electrical faults and electrical leaks. However, it is less reliable at catching smaller sparks in comparison to the AFDD, and can therefore cause more potential fire hazards to the property or residents. Thatch roofed properties, for example, would be more inclined to need an AFDD.

The RCBO ensures every circuit has its own earth fault protection.

Dual RCD – Tier 3

With this fuse board, you get two RCD’s and several circuit breakers that provide electricity to your circuits, such as your sockets and lights.

This is fully compliant and regulated RCD which affords you the required level of protection that every property needs. However, unlike an RCBO or AFDD, if an earth fault occurs on one circuit, it can affect all other circuits that are supplied by that RCD. With this issue, you will not be able to turn any circuits back on until the fault is resolved. If left unresolved, it can become hazardous to both the property and residents.
