Consumer Unit (Fuse Board)
The consumer unit (fuse board) is located within the storage cupboard of the property. The consumer units are fitted with British Standard RCD (circuit breaker/cut out) for safety and the RCD will trip if there is a problem with the circuit. This is a safety feature which protects you from electrocution.
If something is tripping out the electrics on the consumer unit (fuse board) it is the occupier’s responsibility to identify where the issue lies by unplugging all electrical items, resetting the switches and plugging the electrical items back in one by one. Common issues which will trip the electrics within a property are things such as: light bulbs blowing and problems with electrical equipment i.e. toasters, kettles, irons, TV’s and laptops.
