Contactum Defender Populated Surge Protection Consumer Units

Contactum Defender Populated Surge Protection Consumer Units have been developed to answer the two major changes introduced by the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations regarding 'diversity' and 'surge protection. The Contactum consumer unit has High Integrity, offering 10, 12 & 14 fully configurable ways arranged over three separate banks of circuits.


The high integrity 18th Edition consumer unit offers two x 80amp RCDs in direct response to section 536.4.202 which advises that overload protection shall not solely be based on the use of diversity factors of the downstream circuits.​​​​​​" Whilst this regulation does not outlaw the use of diversity it does suggest that in order to avoid a risk assessment, the RCD should be nearer the total value of the downstream circuits
