Consumer Units and Protective Devices

The Memera range of consumer units provides a broad scope of products to meet the requirement of the 17th edition of the wiring regulations.

The most comprehensive solution would be to provide individual RCBO protection on each and every out going circuit from a consumer unit. Hence the use of a consumer unit such as a 12 way isolator controlled board. eg. EAD12 fitted with up to 12 x RCBO’s or the EAD11R, the 11 way unit with additional cabling space to accommodate the RCBOs.

The next level down would be to provide an isolator controlled dual RCD consumer unit feeding two RCD board sections. eg. EAD12H80H80D or EAD12H80H63D
fitted with up to 12 x MCB’s

Such a dual RCD board could also be provided with some unprotected ways controlled by the main switch to enable a supply to any individual circuits that don’t require RCD protection or else require individual RCBO circuit protection .eg. EAD12H80H803D or EAD12H80H633D fitted with up to 15 x MCB’s

A conventional split load board such as an EAD14H80D could have additional RCBO’s fitted to the non protected side allowing a mixture of Group RCD protected circuits and Individual RCBO protected circuits.

Consumer units are already available with RCD incomers of 30mA sensitivity such as
EAD12H80, EAD12H100. However, single RCD controlled units on their own are unlikely to satisfy regulation 314.1 and 2.
