Why Choose the ABB EPH-S16208 Protecta Home 8-Way Consumer Unit?
The ABB EPH-S16208 is a robust and reliable 8-way split-load consumer unit designed for safe and efficient electrical distribution in residential installations. As part of the established ABB Protecta Home consumer unit series, it features a 100 A main switch isolator and two 63 A residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs), providing convenient supply isolation and residual current protection for separate groups of outgoing circuits.
This consumer unit combines a durable steel enclosure with a practical split-load arrangement that allows electrical circuits to be distributed between two RCCB-protected sections. Its design supports straightforward installation, organised circuit management and convenient access for inspection and maintenance. The Protecta Home series is developed to meet the requirements of domestic electrical distribution systems, offering flexibility for electrical contractors and installers.
With 8 outgoing ways, a 100 A main isolator and two 63 A RCCBs, the EPH-S16208 is suitable for residential properties requiring multiple protected electrical circuits. Its compact enclosure measures 250 mm high × 330 mm wide × 105 mm deep, making it a practical choice for domestic electrical installations where space and reliable circuit distribution are important.

Reliable Electrical Distribution and Circuit Protection
Consumer units such as the ABB EPH-S16208 provide a central point for distributing electrical power to individual circuits within residential properties. The integrated 100 A main isolator enables the electrical supply to be disconnected when required, while the two 63 A RCCBs provide residual current protection for their respective groups of outgoing circuits. When an RCCB detects a residual current exceeding its operating threshold, it disconnects the affected group to help reduce the risks associated with earth leakage faults.
The ABB Protecta Home series is designed to support practical circuit distribution and electrical protection in domestic installations. The EPH-S16208 features a variable split-load configuration, allowing installers to arrange outgoing circuits between the two RCCB-protected sections according to installation requirements. Individual circuits require appropriately rated overcurrent protective devices, and the installation must be designed to ensure suitable circuit loading, protective coordination and compliance with applicable wiring regulations.
Typical Applications
- Residential electrical distribution in houses and domestic properties.
- New-build housing electrical installations.
- Consumer unit replacement and electrical refurbishment projects.
- Domestic installations requiring an 8-way split-load distribution board.
- Lighting and socket-outlet circuit distribution.
- Electrical distribution for household appliances and fixed equipment.
- Residential installations requiring dual RCCB protection.
- Domestic electrical systems requiring a central 100 A main isolator.
