Consumer Units
Consumer units, also called electrical fuse boxes, distribution boards, or fuse boards, are crucial pieces of equipment designed to be installed within homes or other settings. These units are designed to distribute electricity to main circuits within residential or commercial settings. Serving as a central hub, they comprise multiple electrical protection devices, providing a safe way to provide electricity to individual circuits. A consumer unit is significant due to its ability to protect against electric shocks, fires, overloads, and other electrical faults. They do it by automatically disconnecting the power when detecting any unsafe conditions. It is recommended to install and work by qualified professionals to avoid any potential hazards.
Main Functions of a Consumer Unit Include:
The main and fundamental purpose of a consumer unit is to provide a convenient way to distribute power to different areas of a building. Other functions include:
- Protect against electrical hazards such as shocks and fires.
- Enable easy isolation of circuits for maintenance or repair.
- Ensure compliance with electrical regulations and standards.
Components of a Consumer Unit:
A typical consumer unit consists of several key components, such as:
- Main Switch: This is the primary switch that controls the flow of electricity into the unit. It turns off all power to the building in case of emergencies or maintenance.
- Circuit Breakers or Fuses: These devices protect individual circuits from electrical hazards like overloads or short circuits by interrupting the electricity flow when necessary. Circuit breakers are more commonly used nowadays due to their ease of resetting compared to fuses.
- Residual Current Devices (RCDs): RCDs are safety devices that monitor the current flow and quickly shut off power when detecting a fault, such as an earth leakage or imbalance in current. They help prevent electric shocks and fires.
- Bus Bars: These conductors distribute power to various circuit breakers within the unit.
- Neutral and Earth Bars: These provide common points for neutral and earth wires from different circuits.
Popular Types of Consumer Units:
Consumer units vary depending on their applications and the complexity of the electrical system. Some common types include:
- Standard Consumer Units – Used in homes and small offices, typically featuring a single main switch, several circuit breakers, and an RCD.
- Dual RCD Consumer Units – These offer higher safety by having two RCDs, each covering half the circuits in the unit, thus providing redundancy.
- Garage Consumer Units – Smaller units designed for garages or outbuildings, usually with fewer circuits.
Typical Applications of Consumer Units:
Consumer units are a critical part of the electrical supply system in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings with varied applications, including:
- Residential Buildings
- Commercial Properties
- Industrial Applications
- Outdoor Use
- Safety and Compliance
- Renovations and Upgrades
- Energy Management.

MISTRAL65 Consumer Units
The new range of MISTRAL65 consumer units allow almost any type of electrical distribution system to be implemented in industrial, commercial and residential environments. The consumer units are manufactured in a halogen-free thermoplastic which is completely recyclable. The range includes solutions with transparent or opaque doors which open up to 180°, and a choice of between 4 and 72 modules, meeting the most recent regulatory requirements and ensuring an enormous variety of application types are covered.
The refined design is marked by some particular characteristics, for example the perfect symmetry, which allows either the whole consumer unit or just the front panel to be rotated, easily changing the door opening side. In the multi-row versions, the centre distance of the DIN rails can be varied from 150 mm to 125 mm, further increasing the versatility of the product and using the same standard accessories.
The frame is extractable for quick and easy bench cabling. The ample internal space makes the cables more accessible, facilitating cabling and giving the possibility to anchor the cable ties to special eyeholes on the frame. The consumer units are designed to house optional dedicated terminal blocks in two different colour schemes to allow quick and tidy cabling, and making separate power supplies easily recognisable, when used.
The range is completely coordinated with ABB MCBs and MCCBs, all of which can be easily installed simply by moving the rail provided for their housing. The project design also aimed to optimise cabling, assembly and installation times of the consumer units. Everything has been designed to make the installer's job quicker and easier, allowing them to implement functional and tidy switchboards.
