Circuit Protection

There are different categories of electrical faults that can occur in both the home and at work, usually occurring either through the 'hard wiring' of the electrical distribution system or at the individual appliance level. Electrical faults are dangerous, with the main risks being electric shock, fire and damage to equipment and property.

We’ve all dealt with problems around the home that have gone on for a little longer than they should have.

RCBOs (Residual Current circuit breaker with overload protection) incorporate the latest features in safety and comply with the most up to date wiring policies and regulations.

A basic circuit protection setup would usually consist of a consumer unit, miniature circuit breakers and an RCD (Residual Current Device).

Almost all properties that have an electrical supply will be fitted with a consumer unit to distribute electricity to the circuits.
