Description

The WMCU6/4 four usable way consumer unit brings a main switch and four MCBs of your choice together in a steel enclosure with a drop-down lid. It is a practical option for a small circuit schedule where a main-switch-and-MCB arrangement has been specified.

Four outgoing ways, configured for your job

  • Choose the MCB ratings: specify the four breakers required by your circuit schedule, rather than working around a fixed mix.
  • Main switch included: the incoming switch and outgoing MCBs are supplied together in the board.
  • Four usable outgoing ways: a clear circuit capacity for planning the build.
  • Steel enclosure with drop-down lid: a compact format for a suitable indoor mounting position.

The main switch provides isolation and the MCBs provide overcurrent protection. An RCD, RCBOs and surge protection are not included in this listed configuration. Your electrician should establish how any additional protection required by the installation will be provided.

How to specify your four MCBs

Before placing your order, contact Power & Data UK quoting WMCU6/4 and provide the rating and trip curve needed for each of the four circuits. Include the quantity of boards, required delivery date and any mounting-space limits so the supplied configuration and lead time can be confirmed.

WMCU08/6 Main switch + six MCBs; six usable outgoing ways The circuit schedule requires six outgoing ways.

Need RCBO protection, an SPD or a different breaker mix? Ask about the complete board specification before ordering, so the devices and enclosure can be checked together. You can also compare the wider consumer unit range.

Installation notes

The complete circuit schedule and protection arrangement must be specified by a qualified electrician. Installation and commissioning must follow the assembly instructions and applicable wiring requirements.

  • Confirm the selected MCB ratings, trip curves, incoming supply and circuit design before ordering.
  • Establish how the installation will provide any required residual-current and surge protection.
  • Confirm enclosure dimensions and suitability for the mounting environment before installation.
  • Use only devices and connection arrangements approved for the assembly; do not assume that every DIN-rail device is interchangeable.
  • Complete inspection, testing and circuit identification before the board is put into service.
FAQs

What does this four-way consumer unit include?

A steel enclosure with drop-down lid, a main switch and four MCBs of your choice. The four usable ways refer to the outgoing circuit positions.

How do I choose the four MCBs?

Ask your electrician for the required current rating and trip curve for each circuit, then contact Power & Data UK with that schedule and the product code WMCU6/4 before placing the order. Confirm the available device options and lead time with the team.

Does this board include RCD or surge protection?

No RCD, RCBOs or SPD are included in this listed main-switch-and-MCB configuration. The installation design must provide any additional protection required. Compare the four-way RCD version if that configuration is specified.

Can I order RCBOs instead of MCBs?

Contact Power & Data UK with the required circuit schedule before ordering an alternative build. Device compatibility and enclosure capacity must be checked for the complete assembly.

Is it suitable for a garage or outbuilding?

It can be considered for a suitable dry indoor location where this protection arrangement meets the circuit design. Confirm the site conditions, enclosure requirements and any RCD or surge protection needed with the installer.

What if I need more circuits?

Compare the six usable way main-switch consumer unit. Select a board with enough usable capacity for the specified outgoing devices and any planned expansion.

How quickly can it be supplied?

This is a configured product. Confirm your MCB schedule, quantity and required date with Power & Data UK before booking the installation; the team can confirm the lead time for the requested build.
