Consumer Units, Fuse Boards & Distribution Boards

Shop consumer units for domestic, commercial and specialist circuits, including compact 4-way boards, larger distribution boards, garage units and dedicated EV or heat pump consumer units.

Choose the board around the number of outgoing circuits, spare capacity, enclosure location and the protective devices required by the installation design.

Quick guide: Allow enough usable ways for the immediate circuit schedule plus sensible spare capacity. Confirm the main switch, RCD or RCBO layout, surge-protection arrangement and enclosure suitability before ordering.

  • 4, 6 and 8-way boards: compact options for smaller circuit schedules
  • Metal consumer units: board formats for domestic and commercial installations
  • RCBO and RCD layouts: grouped or per-circuit residual-current protection
  • Specialist boards: garage, EV, heat pump, PME and IP-rated options

Choosing the Right Consumer Unit

Start with a documented circuit schedule. The board needs sufficient usable ways, compatible protective devices, an appropriate enclosure and room for the selected main switch, RCBOs, RCDs or SPDs. Installation design, assembly compatibility and manufacturer instructions remain decisive.

Choose the Board Size

Count every outgoing circuit and allow practical spare capacity for foreseeable additions. Compact boards suit defined loads; larger homes and commercial installations often need more ways.

Choose the Protection Layout

Main-switch, split-load and RCBO arrangements behave differently during a fault. Match the layout to the required circuit separation, residual-current protection and continuity needs.

Browse RCBOs →

Choose the Enclosure

Consider the mounting position, accessibility, environmental exposure and cable-entry requirements. Garage and outdoor locations may need a different enclosure from an indoor domestic board.

Specification Checklist

  • Ways and modules: confirm both outgoing circuit count and the space used by incoming or protective devices.
  • Device compatibility: use components approved for the selected assembly and follow manufacturer instructions.
  • Supply and rating: coordinate the board, main switch and protective devices with the installation design.
  • Environment: check enclosure material, IP rating, cable entry and mounting position.
  • Future demand: account for likely EV, heat pump, outbuilding or renewable circuits.
