The Evoges Guardian EG12W 12 Way Consumer Unit is a high-quality metal-clad distribution board designed to provide safe and reliable power distribution in domestic and light commercial installations. Equipped with a 100A double-pole main switch and twelve outgoing ways, it offers ample capacity for larger properties, new-build projects, extensive rewires, and installations requiring multiple circuits. The consumer unit serves as the central point of electrical distribution, providing main isolation and accommodating a range of protective devices to safeguard connected circuits.
Part of the trusted Evoges Guardian range, the EG12W supports the installation of MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs, allowing electricians to configure circuit protection according to the specific requirements of the installation. MCBs provide protection against overloads and short circuits, RCBOs combine overcurrent and residual current protection on individual circuits, and AFDDs help detect potentially dangerous arc faults that could lead to electrical fires.
This version is supplied without an integrated Surge Protection Device (SPD). It is ideal for installations where surge protection is not required by design or where external surge protection measures are already in place. Manufactured to the latest industry standards and carrying UKCA and CE certification, the EG12W delivers a dependable and compliant solution for modern electrical installations.

What Else Do I Need With This Consumer Unit?
To complete your installation, you'll need compatible circuit protection devices from the Evoges Guardian range. The exact combination will depend on the number and type of circuits being installed, as well as the level of protection required under the installation design and current wiring regulations.
Guardian MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers)
Guardian MCBs provide protection against overloads and short circuits and are commonly used where residual current protection is provided elsewhere within the installation.
Available ratings:
- EGM06B6A – 6A MCB (lighting circuits)
- EGM06B10A – 10A MCB
- EGM06B16A – 16A MCB
- EGM06B20A – 20A MCB
- EGM06B32A – 32A MCB
- EGM06B40A – 40A MCB
- EGM06B50A – 50A MCB
- EGM06B63A – 63A MCB
Typical applications include lighting circuits, socket circuits, radial circuits, immersion heaters, and dedicated appliance supplies.
Guardian RCBOs (Residual Current Breakers with Overcurrent Protection)
Guardian RCBOs combine overload, short-circuit, and residual current protection within a single device. By protecting each circuit individually, RCBOs help minimise disruption, as only the affected circuit disconnects in the event of a fault.
Available ratings:
- EGRB6A30 – 6A RCBO
- EGRB10A30 – 10A RCBO
- EGRB16A30 – 16A RCBO
- EGRB20A30 – 20A RCBO
- EGRB32A30 – 32A RCBO
- EGRB40A30 – 40A RCBO
RCBOs are widely used in modern consumer unit installations to provide enhanced safety and improved fault discrimination.
Guardian AFDD (Arc Fault Detection Device)
For installations requiring additional protection against electrical fires caused by arc faults, the Guardian range includes a 32A AFDD.
Available rating:
- EGAFDD06B32A30 – 32A AFDD RCBO
AFDDs are designed to detect potentially dangerous arc faults that may not be identified by conventional protective devices and can provide an additional level of fire protection on suitable circuits.
Choosing the Right Combination
Your qualified electrician will determine the most appropriate combination of Guardian MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs based on the circuit design, load requirements, and the latest edition of BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), ensuring a safe, compliant, and reliable installation.
