1 Greater protection UNDERSTANDING THE 17TH EDITION CONSUMER UNITS / PRODUCT GUIDE

2 Summary of changes Simplifying the 17 th Edition Understanding new regulations is never easy... that s why we ve tried to make it as simple as possible. To comply with the 17 th Edition, we ve launched a selection of new dual RCD split load units with 10 or 16 outgoing ways. Regulation : Summary : Regulation : Summary : Socket outlets for general use in domestic installations require additional protection by an RCD* Cables buried in a wall or partition at a depth of less than mm and not mechanically protected by appropriate earthed metal require additional protection by an RCD* Regulation : Summary : All circuits in locations containing a bath or shower shall be protected by one or more RCDs* Regulation : Existing units can be easily upgraded for a 17 th Edition installation by replacing MCBs with RCBOs on unprotected ways. RCD* protection for increased safety, especially for the end-user in domestic installations... plus reduced likelihood of unwanted tripping by sensibly dividing the installation. Summary : All circuits of an installation should not be connected to a single upstream RCD* in order to avoid unwanted tripping, hazards and minimise inconvenience in the event of a fault * not exceeding 30 ma (*with a rated residual current not exceeding 30 ma - Reg ) 2

4 A flexible approach to safety With an array of design innovations and practical features making them easy to install, Legrand s consumer units save valuable time and money during installation... allowing you to reflect on the generous wiring space and the all-round extra protection. Features include a removable pan assembly, earth terminal holder that simply clips into place, and multiple cut-outs on the unit s back, bottom, top and sides. Combining elegance with efficiency Designed to match today s modern decor, the units offer a streamlined appearance allied with magnolia cases, allowing them to blend perfectly into their surroundings. The units are supported by a selection of residential DX-E MCBs, offering faster installation with a single fixing clip and simple labelling using the pre-scored, pre-printed labels supplied with each consumer unit. 4
