A 2 way split load consumer unit is common place for many new installations nowadays, and properties that have been rewired will have been upgraded to split load boards too.
Although easy to wire up, it is also easy to get wrong.
Correctly wired, the RCDs and Circuit Breakers in the consumer unit will give the best protection to users of the installation and help to keep them safe from the harmful effects of electric shock and fire.
Incorrectly installed and the installation may not give full protection and may also give spurious electrical faults.
This video has been put together to show what components should go into a 2 way split load board, how they should be wired together for correct performance and then we follow the route of the electric current around the board showing the path through the correctly installed cables.
This will be especially useful to new electricians, apprentices and persons who have not installed a 2 way board before.
It is important that the relevant precautions regarding electrical safety should be followed including safe isolation of the installation and electrical circuits etc. If in doubt, stop and seek advice.
Electrical competence and knowledge of how to test an installation correctly are essential.
This work would fall into the requirements for notification under Part P of the Building Regulations.
We have produced several videos on Part P and on testing circuits which will supplement the knowledge learnt in this video.
