An illuminating solution to a
New Years deadline
he UK electrical industry
has seen important changes
over the last year, since the
launch of Amendment 3 to
the 17th edition Wiring Regulations.
The January 1 deadline means that all
consumer units installed in domestic
premises now need to be made
of metal. Jason Hallam, UK sales
specification manager at CPN-Cudis,
explains how its new Metal Lumo
Consumer Unit has been designed to
comply with the latest requirements.
T
We launched our third amendment
compliant consumer unit in June, 2015.
Constructed in steel and with a drop
down lid, it has added safety features
such as earth contact points.
One of our main objectives was to
create a product that was aesthetically
pleasing as well as practical. Its design
retains the look of the current plastic
consumer unit and is available in both
black and white.
Our latest development, the LUMO
metal consumer unit, has been
designed for the convenience and
safety of the user. It’s fitted with our
innovative in-built LED, allowing the
user to easily reset a tripped circuit
breaker, without needing to fumble
about in the dark.
The technical team at CPN-Cudis were
able to utilise their experience of
electrical installation requirements, and
inspection and testing, to make the
installation process straight-forward.
We’ve maximised space inside the
unit, to make installation easier and
faster, and the size and position of
the knockouts offer the installer full
accessibility for cables.
