Consumer Units in Kent What Are Consumer Units? Also known as the outdated term of 'fuse-box', a consumer unit is essentially the main control centre of a homes electrical supply. It is an aspect of every home which many people can recognise, few can name and fewer can actually work. However, they are relatively easy to understand; the consumer unit is found at the point where the electrical supply enters your property from the electricity meter. It then distributes that power through the property; its key components are the main switches, residual current devices and circuit breakers.
The consumer unit within your property is the checkpoint for the electricity entering your home and the main item which protects against everything from electric shocks to electric fires.
