What is Consumer Unit Wiring?

Consumer unit wiring refers to the electrical distribution system in your home or business. It is responsible for controlling and distributing electricity to different circuits, ensuring their optimal functionality. A properly installed and well-maintained consumer unit is vital for the safety and efficiency of your electrical system.

The Importance of Consumer Unit Wiring

Consumer unit wiring plays a significant role in the overall electrical infrastructure. It provides protection against electrical faults, such as short circuits and overloads, by incorporating circuit breakers and residual current devices (RCDs). These safety devices detect abnormalities in the electrical flow and interrupt it to prevent potential hazards like electrical fires or electrocution.
