Why Choose the ABB EPH-S60004 Protecta Home 4-Way Consumer Unit?
The ABB EPH-S60004 is a compact and reliable 4-way, 63 A main switch consumer unit designed for safe and organised electrical distribution in domestic and residential installations. Featuring a factory-fitted 63 A switch disconnector, this consumer unit provides convenient isolation of the incoming electrical supply while accommodating compatible modular circuit protection devices. As part of the established ABB Protecta Home series, it offers electricians and electrical contractors a practical solution for smaller electrical distribution requirements.
The EPH-S60004 features a main switch configuration, providing a straightforward arrangement for installations where residual current protection is provided separately or through appropriately selected RCBOs. Its four outgoing ways allow individual circuits to be protected using compatible devices, while the integrated main switch enables central isolation for maintenance and servicing. The unit is supplied with a shrouded busbar, earth and neutral bars, helping simplify installation and circuit organisation.
With a 63 A rated main switch and four outgoing ways, the EPH-S60004 is particularly suitable for smaller residential distribution applications and installations requiring a limited number of circuits. Its durable RAL 7035 grey steel enclosure provides robust housing for electrical components, while its compact 250 × 190 × 105 mm (H × W × D) dimensions make it suitable for wall-mounted installations where space is restricted.

Reliable Electrical Isolation and Distribution for Domestic Installations
Main switch consumer units such as the ABB EPH-S60004 Protecta Home provide a central distribution point for electrical circuits within a property. The integrated 63 A switch disconnector enables the incoming supply to be isolated from the outgoing circuits, supporting safe electrical maintenance and servicing when used with appropriate isolation procedures. The four available ways allow compatible protective devices to be installed according to the requirements of the electrical installation.
Unlike consumer units supplied with an integrated RCCB, the EPH-S60004 uses a main switch-only incomer arrangement. The main switch provides isolation but does not itself offer residual current, overload or short-circuit protection. These functions must be provided by appropriately selected protective devices. Compatible RCBOs can combine residual current protection with overload and short-circuit protection for individual outgoing circuits, while MCBs provide overcurrent protection where suitable residual current protection is provided elsewhere.
The ABB Protecta Home range is designed for dependable residential electrical distribution, combining robust steel enclosures with practical installation features. The EPH-S60004 is supplied with a factory-fitted switch disconnector, shrouded busbar and earth and neutral bars, helping electricians organise outgoing circuit connections. Its compact four-way arrangement makes it particularly useful where a larger consumer unit is unnecessary. Installation and protective device selection must be carried out by a competent electrician in accordance with applicable electrical installation regulations, including BS 7671.
