What Is the Niglon Protego Consumer Unit Range?
The Protego range covers main switch consumer units and RCBO consumer units, available from compact 2 way boards through to high capacity 32 way dual row enclosures. This gives installers a single trusted range to specify for anything from a small flat rewire to a large domestic property with multiple circuits.
Several models in the range are also available as SPD consumer unit kits, pairing a Protego main switch board with a matched Niglon Type 2 surge protection device fitted directly to the busbar, removing the need for a separate MCB and simplifying compliance with the surge protection requirements of BS 7671.
