RCBO Consumer Units
(2 products)RCBO consumer units are supplied with at least one RCBO device, which is used to protect the circuit from both current overload and earth leakage. The device will trip when an imbalance is detected, providing both users and electrical devices with protection against faults and electric shocks. RCBO boards are an increasingly popular choice due to the individual circuit protection they provide, meaning that if one trips, the rest remain active, although this will depend on the configuration of the other devices. One option is to have critical appliances on an RCBO, such as fridge freezers or security systems, with the rest on MCBs, which can be more cost effective. Exclusively using RCBOs provides isolation between different rooms and electrical device types as well as facilitates the safe inspection and maintenance of the board. RCBO fuse boards are therefore ideal for rental properties where inspections and maintenance are regularly required.
