Guardian EG19WSPD 19 Way Consumer Unit with Type 2 40kA SPD & 100A Main Switch

The Evoges Guardian EG19WSPD 19 Way Consumer Unit is a high-capacity metal-clad distribution board designed for larger residential properties, extensive renovation projects, and light commercial installations. Featuring a 100A double-pole main switch, nineteen outgoing ways, and an integrated Type 2 40kA Surge Protection Device (SPD), this consumer unit delivers reliable power distribution, safe isolation, and enhanced protection for modern electrical installations.

As part of the trusted Evoges Guardian range, the EG19WSPD supports the installation of Guardian MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs, allowing electricians to tailor circuit protection to the specific requirements of each installation. MCBs provide overload and short-circuit protection, RCBOs combine overcurrent and residual current protection for individual circuits, and AFDDs help reduce the risk of electrical fires by detecting potentially dangerous arc faults.

The integrated Type 2 SPD provides valuable protection against transient overvoltages caused by lightning activity, utility switching operations, and fluctuations within the electrical network. With modern homes and commercial premises increasingly reliant on sensitive electronic equipment such as computers, broadband systems, boilers, security equipment, EV chargers, smart home devices, and entertainment systems, integrated surge protection helps safeguard valuable assets and minimise the risk of costly damage.

Who Can Install This Consumer Unit?

In the UK, consumer units must only be installed, replaced, inspected, and tested by a qualified electrician. Installation work must comply with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and applicable Building Regulations. A competent electrician will ensure the consumer unit is correctly installed, tested, and certified to provide safe, compliant, and reliable operation.

Consumer Unit FAQs

What protection does the integrated SPD provide?

The integrated Type 2 Surge Protection Device helps protect electrical installations and connected equipment from transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes, utility switching operations, and electrical disturbances within the supply network.

Does the SPD replace MCBs, RCBOs, or AFDDs?

No. The SPD only provides protection against voltage surges. MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs remain essential for providing overload, short-circuit, residual current, and arc fault protection.

Why should I choose a consumer unit with surge protection?

Modern electrical installations contain increasingly valuable and sensitive electronics. Integrated surge protection helps reduce the risk of damage to devices such as televisions, computers, routers, boilers, EV chargers, security systems, and smart home equipment.

Is this consumer unit compliant with current UK standards?

Yes. The EG19WSPD complies with BS EN 61439-3 and carries UKCA and CE certification. Compatible Guardian protective devices are manufactured to the relevant BS EN standards.

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, dedicated appliance supplies, and other fixed electrical loads.

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
• EGRB20A30 – 20A RCBO
• EGRB16A30 – 16A RCBO
• EGRB32A30 – 32A RCBO
• EGRB40A30 – 40A RCBO

RCBOs are commonly specified in modern consumer unit installations to provide enhanced safety, improved fault discrimination, and compliance with current wiring regulations.

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 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.
