Consumer units are an integral part of any building requiring electricity as they distribute the main electrical supply entering a property to individual circuits. To ensure safety a consumer unit must meet required legislation and should only be installed by a qualified professional. City Plumbing supplies the consumer units, circuit breakers, distribution equipment, and switches that trade electricians rely on to build safe, compliant installations across domestic and commercial work.
What Is the Difference Between Single Phase and Three Phase Distribution?
The two suit different types of installation:
- Single phase – common in domestic properties and smaller premises with standard power demands.
- Three phase – used where higher, more balanced loads are needed, such as commercial and industrial settings or properties running heavy equipment.
Choose the distribution type that matches the supply and the demands of the property you are working on.
What Role Do Circuit Breakers Play?
Circuit breakers protect individual circuits by cutting the supply when they detect an overload or fault. Sitting within the consumer unit or distribution board, they help safeguard both the wiring and anyone using the installation. Selecting the correct type and rating for each circuit is an important part of building a safe, compliant board.
