The Evoges Guardian EG8W 8 Way Consumer Unit is a robust and reliable metal-clad distribution board designed for modern residential and light commercial electrical installations. Featuring a 100A double-pole main switch and eight outgoing ways, it provides safe isolation and efficient distribution of power to individual circuits throughout the property. Manufactured to current UK standards, the EG8W forms part of the trusted Evoges Guardian range, offering flexibility for installers to configure circuit protection using compatible MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs.
This version is supplied without an integrated Surge Protection Device (SPD), making it an ideal solution where surge protection is not required by design specification or where external surge protection measures are already in place. The consumer unit allows installers to select the most appropriate protective devices for each circuit, ensuring compliance with the latest wiring regulations while delivering reliable protection against overloads, short circuits, residual currents, and arc faults where required.
Built with durability and installer convenience in mind, the EG8W features a compact enclosure, clearly labelled terminals, and a high-quality busbar arrangement. Its versatile design makes it suitable for new installations, rewires, extensions, and consumer unit upgrades in domestic properties across the UK.

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 Breaker 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 commonly specified in modern consumer unit installations to provide enhanced circuit protection 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 dangerous series and parallel arc faults that may not be identified by conventional protective devices. They are particularly suitable for socket circuits in residential properties, higher-risk environments, and installations where enhanced fire protection is desired.
Choosing the Right Combination
Your qualified electrician will select 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). This ensures the installation delivers the required levels of safety, protection, and compliance.
