I have recently moved into a new house and the electrics were periodic checked beforehand and everything was ok. Just wondered if someone could explain a bit about the switches on the consumer unit. I am aware of the circuits on MCB which are labelled.
My questions are:
1.) Judging by the pic are all circuits protected by RCB? am I right in thinking that the MCB on left are protected by the left RCB and those on the right have another?
2.) If an fault was to trip a circuit, would the RCD trip, or would the MCB trip or both?
3.) On the very far right of the unit there is a double switch. Is this the main electricity isolator?
4.) the MCB next to the double switch - is this the main electricity fuse?
Just curious thats all
Thanks
