BS 3036: Rewirable Fuses

BS 3036 is the British Standard for rewireable fuses. These fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent conditions. They are typically used in domestic and commercial applications.

BS 1361: Cartridge Fuses

BS 1361 is the British Standard for cartridge fuses. These fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent conditions. They are typically used in industrial and commercial applications.

Consumer Unit Type

Consumer units are the main electrical distribution boards in a building. They contain the circuit breakers or fuses that protect the individual circuits in the building. Consumer units must comply with BS 7671, the British Standard for electrical installations.
