BS 7671 is the UK’s definitive standard for electrical installations, setting out the requirements for all low voltage systems and providing essential guidance for today’s electrical industry. It supports electricians, designers and inspectors in meeting current regulations while keeping pace with evolving technologies and best practice.

MCB & MCCB:
These are your standard "fuse" replacements. They protect your wiring from Short Circuits (wires touching) and Overloads (too many appliances running at once), but they won't save you from an electric shock.

RCD / RCCB & ELCB:
These are designed for human safety. They detect Earth Leakage (when electricity "leaks" out of the circuit, like through a person). They trip almost instantly to prevent fatal shocks.

RCBO:
This is the "all-in-one" solution. It combines the features of an MCB and an RCD, protecting against Short Circuits, Overloads, AND Earth Leakage.
