❓ FAQs – Live Electrical Consumer Unit Summer Promotion with Free Gifts
Are Live Electrical consumer units compliant with 18th Edition fire safety rules?
Yes. All Live Electrical boards feature fully metal enclosures and comply with Regulation 421.1.201 of BS 7671:2018 + A2:2022. This rule, which became mandatory in 2016, requires consumer units in domestic installations to be made from non-combustible materials to reduce fire risk.
Do Live SPD boards meet surge protection requirements under BS 7671?
Yes. All Live Electrical SPD boards align with Sections 443 and 534 of BS 7671. They include a factory-fitted single-module Type 2 SPD, which connects directly to the busbar without needing a separate MCB. A meter tails gland is also included to support safe and compliant installation.
Are these fully metal consumer units or just metal-fronted?
They are fully enclosed metal consumer units, manufactured from powder-coated steel. Both surface-mounted (LSMC) and flush-mounted (FMC) models are completely metal-bodied, ensuring full compliance with fire safety regulations.
Can these consumer units be used in solar PV installations?
Yes. Live Electrical consumer units are well suited to solar PV installations. The bi-directional Type A RCBOs supplied in the kits support current flow in either direction, which is essential when working with inverters and generation systems. The boards also support surge protection for PV systems when required.
What are bi-directional RCBOs and do the kits include them?
Bi-directional RCBOs allow connection without worrying about line/load orientation. All Live Electrical consumer unit kits from Electrical4Less include bi-directional Type A RCBOs, ensuring full compliance with 18th Edition requirements and fast, reliable installation in solar or general-use applications.
Are the flush-mounted boards suitable for plastered-in installations?
Yes. The FMC range of Live Electrical flush-mounted consumer units is designed for recessed installation into solid or stud walls. The fully metal enclosure allows the unit body to sit cleanly inside the wall cavity, with only the front cover exposed. This makes it suitable for plastered-in finishes, offering a discreet, regulation-compliant solution.
Are Live Electrical boards compatible with large tail cables?
Yes. Live Electrical boards include generous cable entry knockouts and a meter tails gland is provided with SPD models and all Electrical4Less consumer unit kits. The main switch is fitted with double screw terminals instead of clamp-style terminals, making it easier to secure large tails safely and reliably in accordance with BS 7671.
