Consumer Unit Accessories

We stock a number of consumer unit accessories here at DIY Megastore – essential components within an electrical distribution system that can enhance safety, functionality, customisation, and more. Consumer unit accessories, such as circuit breakers and fuses, serve as the first line of defence against a wide variety of electrical faults, as well as detecting overloads or short circuits. They are crucial in ensuring you and your system are protected from a number of hazards. Meanwhile, particular accessories like modular circuit breakers and RCBOs (Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent Protection) allow for tailored configurations to meet specific electrical requirements and designs.

Some accessories, like RCDs (Residual Current Devices), are crucial for detecting current imbalances, which may indicate a fault or leakage. They provide an extra layer of protection against electric shocks, making them especially important in areas with a higher risk of moisture or dampness. Meanwhile, surge protection devices (SPDs) safeguard electrical installations from sudden voltage spikes caused by events like lightning strikes. They are able to divert excess energy away from the system, preventing damage to sensitive electronics and appliances. Some consumer unit accessories, particularly in smart home systems, allow for remote monitoring and control of circuits. This feature provides homeowners and property managers with real-time information about electrical usage and the ability to manage power distribution from a distance.

Consumer unit accessories like load balancers or phase shifters help distribute electrical loads evenly across different phases. This ensures that circuits receive a balanced supply of electricity, preventing overload on specific phases. They also include a number of other features, such as locking devices and tamper-proof covers add an extra layer of safety. They help prevent unauthorized access to electrical components, reducing the risk of tampering or accidents. Also helps to improve safety and convenience and is compatible with efficient cable management such as cable ties and trunking, which helps organize and secure wiring. This reduces clutter, enhances safety, and facilitates easier maintenance and troubleshooting.

Each of the consumer unit accessories you will find here at DIY Megastore has been designed and manufactured to meet established electrical codes and safety standards. This ensures that installations follow regulatory requirements, providing a level of assurance for homeowners and property managers.
