Understanding your Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Overcurrent & RCD Protection plus Isolation Features

Students training aid on the different elements of a U.K. consumer unit (distribution boards or fuse board or fuse box). This videos talks about switching for mechanical maintenance and emergency switching. The different types of circuit breakers B, C and D as well as overcurrent and short circuit protection. The video breaks down the elements of the consumers unit and shows best practice with things such as identifying of conductors and the need for earth fault protection via a dual RCD (RCCB) rated at 30mA or less. 🔔 Subscribe for more free electrical training videos https://youtube.com/c/GSHElectrical?sub_confirmation=1 == 🕐 Time Stamps - Cut to the action 🕕 == 00:00 - Understanding your consumer unit 00:09 - Looking at a consumer unit, distribution board or fuse box 00:29 - Construction of a consumer unit 00:40 - Labels on a consumer unit 01:21 - MCB's, RCD's and the main switch in a consumer unit 01:44 - Switching off for mechanical maintenance or emergency isolation 03:08 - Overcurrent or overload and short circuit protection offered by the circuit breakers (fuses) 04:38 - Types of breakers type B, type C and type D 05:17 - Earth leakage protection by RCD's and additional protection 06:18 - Selectivity or discrimination 07:12 - Finding a tripped circuit breaker 09:49 - Turning of a consumer unit, fuse box or distribution board safely 10:16 - What's going on inside a consumer unit 11:31 - IP2X protection inside a consumer unit 12:24 - Identifying conductors in a consumer unit with numbers and letters 🔵 Understanding Your Consumer Unit Layout, Identifying Conductors, SPD's, MCB’s and RCD's (fuse box) https://youtu.be/1qerkAYMRtQ Videos are training aids for City and Guilds (C and G) and EAL courses Level 1, 2, 3 plus AM2, AM2S and AM2E.
