High Integrity Consumer Unit or Insulated Dual RCD Consumer Unit ?? What the difference
High Integrity CCUs have two RCD Banks and some separate slots that are not RCD controlled
This allows you to fit Circuit-breakers / RCBOs for those important and sensibly independent circuits like ( Fridge/Freezer, Smoke Alarm, Burglar Alarm ) will not cut power to the tropical fish tank
Manufacturers Literature
High Integrity Boards
A ‘ High Integrity Consumer Unit ’ is one which allows for separation of circuits whilst still protecting all circuits from earth leakage. It does this by using three neutral bars which allows for the use of 2 RCDs and a whole bank of RCBOs.
Split Load Consumer Units
A split load board, in common parlance, is one which is supplied with a Main Switch and RCD. Now that we operate under 17th Edition regulations the implied loading of a split load unit is that Circuit-breakers should only be put on the RCD side while RCBOs are fitted on the main switch side.
Consumer Unit
Suitable for installing into consumer units . BS-EN-60947-3 - Main-switch 100A
High Integrity dual RCD split load unit(s)
Uses two RCD protected sections and a number of ways for dedicated ( High Integrity Circuits ) using 30mA RCBOs
Consumer units ( CCU )
BS-EN-60947-3 - Main-switch 100A
Dual RCD Split Load units
Dual RCD units with two-sections / each protected by a 30mA RCD , Suitable for smaller dwellings
Split Load Units
BS-EN-60947-3 - Main-switch 100A
Split load consumer unit with a small group of circuits on the RCD and all others on independent devices ( RCBOs )
