3 – Electricity In the UK, most homes are supplied with
electricity via cables either underground or overhead. This
connects to a sealed terminal box located inside of your home,
from which two cables run to an electricity meter and two cables
run to the consumer unit. The consumer unit is often located
under the staircase, in the hallway or in the garage – it
distributes electricity in your home. Most consumer units
include MCB’s (miniature circuit breakers) that automatically
switch off in case of faults or colour-coded fuses that enables
you to locate them and switch off the power to a specific
circuit..
