How does a fuse box and consumer unit work?
A fuse box and a consumer unit serve the same purpose. They distribute electricity in your house through multiple circuits and instantly turn the power off whenever a power overload occurs on one of the circuits, which is commonly known as “ tripping ”.
When to put the fuse before or after the power switch?
In most cases, I would prefer to put the fuse immediately after the main power switch. That way, with the power switch off, both terminals of the fuse are “dead”, so there is no shock hazard while changing the fuse, providing the switch is off. If the fuse is before the switch, it will always be “hot”, and will potentially be a shock hazard.
