EKDB16S(L) Main Switch Consumer Unit delivers a clean, expandable foundation for residential and light‑commercial distribution. Built to BS EN 61439‑3 with a non‑combustible steel enclosure, it features a 100A double‑pole isolator and generous free ways across sizes, making it ideal for RCBO‑centric installs or phased circuit expansion. Installers benefit from backed‑out captive screws, a removable DIN rail with support T‑bar, and top‑mounted color‑coded earth and neutral bars for neat, fast wiring. Choose “L” versions for an integrated door lock to secure critical panels.
FAQs
Q1: What protective devices can I fit?
A1: The board supports MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs downstream of the 100A DP main switch, following BS EN 61439‑3 guidance.
Q2: Can I add surge protection later?
A2: Yes. SPD kits can be added; for factory‑fitted options, consider the SPD configurations in the EKDB16S(L) range.
Q3: Do SL models include a door lock?
A3: Yes. “L” versions integrate a door lock for added security; standard versions are non‑locking.
Q4: Where are the neutral and earth bars located?
A4: Both bars are top‑mounted and color‑coded to simplify routing and reduce wiring crossover.
Q5: Are fixings installer‑friendly?
A5: Backed‑out captive combi‑head screws, key‑hole mounting, and a removable DIN rail speed up a tidy installation.
