The New Consumer Unit Range by Axiom Including EV Consumer Units and Bi-directional RCBOs

  Posted by: electime      29th August 2025

August 2025 has seen the launch of one of the most comprehensive ranges of Consumer Units and related products in the UK market. This new VAULT collection features both Standard and Surge Protection Consumer Units, Garage/Shower units as well as the normal supporting items –  RCBOs, MCBs, RCDs plus Contactors and Timers.

But in the midst of all these ranges there are two high profile new additions meeting specific needs of relatively new, fast growing sectors of the market. First the Electric vehicle market – the Vault range includes 6 way fully loaded Consumer Units dedicated to the EV market and recommended to ensure electrical safety, simplify future maintenance or upgrades and comply with current wiring regulations. EV chargers typically draw high, continuous loads and a dedicated consumer unit helps to isolate this load from the main circuits in the property, reducing the risk of overloading and minimising nuisance tripping of other circuits.

And second is the addition of new Bi-directional RCBOs, particularly useful in installations with renewable energy sources, such as solar power systems and wind turbines. Such systems often involve bi-directional current flows where these RCBOs provide enhanced safety by being able to detect faults in both directions.
