Description
The WMCU08/6 six usable way consumer unit is supplied with a main switch and six MCBs of your choice in a steel enclosure. It gives you six outgoing circuit positions and a breaker mix matched to your job, with the board and devices ordered together.
Choose this version when your electrician has specified a main-switch-and-MCB arrangement for a small distribution board, workshop or indoor outbuilding installation. Need a fitted shared RCD instead? Compare the six-way RCD-equipped version below.
Why choose this six-way configuration?
- Six MCBs included: specify each breaker rating and trip curve to match the intended circuits.
- Main switch included: provides a common switching and isolation point for the board.
- Six usable outgoing ways: two more circuit positions than the four-way main-switch version.
- IP40 steel enclosure: a drop-down metal lid and a format intended for a suitable indoor mounting position.
Know what protection is included: the MCBs provide overcurrent protection. The main switch does not provide residual current protection, and this configuration does not include an RCD, RCBOs or an SPD. Your electrician should establish how any additional protection required by the installation will be provided.
Compare the supplied board configurations
| Product | Supplied configuration | Choose when |
|---|---|---|
| WMCU08/6 — this product | Main switch + six MCBs; six usable outgoing ways | Your circuit design specifies the six-way main-switch-and-MCB arrangement. |
| WMCURC8/6 | 63A RCD + six MCBs; six usable outgoing ways | You need a six-way board with a fitted shared RCD. |
| WMCU6/4 | Main switch + four MCBs; four usable outgoing ways | Four outgoing circuits cover the job and the smaller circuit configuration suits your design. |
Order the MCB mix your job needs
contact Power & Data UK quoting WMCU08/6. Send the rating and trip curve required for each of the six circuits, the number of boards and your delivery date. Include any mounting-space limits so the build, dimensions and lead time can be confirmed before ordering.
Need individual RCBOs or surge protection? Ask us to check the complete assembly against your circuit schedule. Device compatibility and the available space should be confirmed for the proposed build.

Installation notes
This board must be selected, installed and commissioned by a qualified electrician using the instructions for the complete assembly.
- Select each MCB rating and trip curve from the load, cable and fault-protection requirements.
- Establish how required residual current and surge protection will be provided; neither function is supplied by the main switch.
- Check the main-switch rating, enclosure dimensions and any proposed alternative devices before agreeing the build.
- Use a suitable indoor mounting position for the IP40 enclosure, with adequate room for cable entries and access.
- Follow the supplied connection, terminal tightening and commissioning instructions.
FAQs
Are six MCBs included in the price?
Yes. The listed configuration includes the main switch and six MCBs of your choice. Agree the breaker ratings and trip curves for your circuit schedule before ordering.
Does the main switch give RCD protection?
No. The main switch provides switching and isolation; the MCBs provide overcurrent protection. For a board supplied with a shared RCD, compare WMCURC8/6. Any required residual current protection must be addressed in the installation design.
Does six usable ways mean six spare ways?
No. It describes the six outgoing circuit positions, supplied here with six MCBs. It does not promise six additional spare positions after those breakers are fitted.
Can I specify RCBOs or add surge protection?
contact Power & Data UK with your proposed specification. Those devices are not included in this listing, and the compatibility and space in the complete assembly must be checked before a different build is agreed.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
The enclosure is IP40 and needs a suitable indoor position. For a location exposed to rain, water or other demanding conditions, ask for an enclosure and assembly suited to that environment.
How do I choose the breakers and confirm delivery?
Send your six-circuit schedule, board quantity and required delivery date when you contact Power & Data UK. We can confirm the breaker mix and current build lead time before you order.
