Out of curiosity, did MK invent the modern type of sentry consumer unit, in which the devices are all modular, and are clipped onto a standardised din-rail?

Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
I think the clue is the name name "DIN-rail"
DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) is German equivalent to BSI (British Standards Institute) so I would presume it was a German introduction.
In the same way that we can assume BTU or BSP were British introductions.

But was it MK who brought the idea of the modular consumer unit to the UK ?

According to Hager, yes. But on the continent, not here. As to who was the first here, I know not...
