Elucian consumer units: driving contractor confidence through innovation and choice
In a market shaped by tighter regulations, higher customer expectations and increasing demand for reliability, the consumer unit has become far more than a basic distribution board. Contractors now expect flexibility, compliance, ease of installation and long-term performance as standard.
It is within this evolving landscape that the Elucian range of single-phase and three-phase consumer units from Click Scolmore has established itself as a strong and increasingly popular choice across domestic, commercial and light industrial applications.
Contractor focussed
One of the key reasons behind the success of the Elucian range lies in its contractor-led design philosophy. Elucian consumer units are engineered to address the practical challenges electricians face on site - from tight installation spaces to increasingly complex circuit protection requirements.
Elucian covers single-phase solutions for residential and small commercial projects, alongside robust three-phase options designed to meet the demands of larger commercial installations. This breadth allows contractors to remain consistent with product selection across varied project types, simplifying specification and installation.
Built for compliance and future readiness
With the ongoing emphasis on safety and compliance, consumer units must deliver confidence both today and in the future. Elucian units are designed to support modern protective devices and configurations, enabling installers to meet current standards while remaining adaptable to evolving requirements.
This focus on future-proofing has been reinforced through recent product launches, which have expanded the range and enhanced its flexibility.
Elucian IP65 EV boards
The latest additions to the Elucian consumer unit range are new IP65-rated EV boards, developed to provide contractors with a robust solutions tailored for the growing demand in electric vehicle charging installations.
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates across the UK, the role of dedicated EV boards has never been more critical. These specialist consumer units are designed to manage the unique electrical requirements of EV chargers, including high current loads, isolation, surge protection, and compliance with the latest wiring regulations. A purpose-built EV board not only ensures safety for homeowners and installers but also simplifies installation, reducing the risk of errors and downtime.
Temperature, durability and longevity
Particular attention has been given to material selection and overall build quality of the EV boards, ensuring long-term reliability. A key design consideration is the operational temperature of the devices installed within the EV board, allowing consistent performance in varying site conditions. Backed by third-party certification, our equipment is approved to operate within a temperature range of -25°C to +40°C.
Where the EV board may be exposed to the elements, material durability has also been carefully considered. The enclosure materials are resistant to fading from prolonged sunlight exposure, and the powder-coated finish provides added protection against UV degradation. Elucian offers a three-year warranty for the protective devices and a 10-year warranty for the enclosures.
The Elucian EV Boards are available in multiple configurations, with protective devices - RCDs or RCBOs, and surge protection devices (SPDs) pre-fitted - allowing installers to complete projects faster while ensuring full compliance with UK wiring regulations. The units also include a free way for additional circuits, offering flexibility for future upgrades.
The full range comprises:
• 5 Way IP65 EV Unit with 100A Mains Switch, SPD and 32A B Curve RCBO
• 5 Way IP65 EV Unit with 100A Mains Switch, SPD and 40A B Curve RCBO
• 5 Way IP65 EV Unit with 63A 30mA Type A RCD, SPD and 40A B Curve MCB
• 5 Way IP65 EV Unit with 63A 30mA Type B RCD and 40A B Curve MCB
Available in a white or anthracite grey finish, the EV units feature multiple gland knockouts and come with a pre-fitted lock that provides safety from interference.
Contractor-friendly solutions
Contractor feedback plays a vital role in shaping safer, more practical consumer unit solutions. Electricians are at the forefront of installation and compliance, making their experience critical in identifying what works, what can be improved, and what ultimately protects end users. The feedback we have received since we first launched the Elucian range back in 2021 continues to feed into our product development programme.
Three phase
Some of the features and benefits of the Elucian three phase range being lauded by installers includes:
Single-module 10kA AFDD with integrated RCBO – a compact, single-module Arc Fault Detection Device combined with RCBO functionality, rated at 10kA. The single-pole plus switched neutral design provides comprehensive protection against arc faults, overcurrent, and earth leakage, significantly enhancing fire safety within consumer units while maintaining full circuit isolation.
Removable and reversible door - the consumer unit features a fully removable door that can be reversed to suit left- or right-hand opening requirements. This provides greater installation flexibility, particularly in confined spaces or where access orientation is critical, while also improving ease of maintenance and future access.
Internal SPD and metering arrangement - Surge Protection Devices (SPD) and metering components are integrated within the consumer unit itself, rather than housed in a separate external enclosure. This results in a more compact, streamlined installation, reduces additional wiring and enclosures, improves overall aesthetics, and helps minimise installation time and cost.
125A and 250A flexibility - the board is designed to accommodate either 125A or 250A modules. This allows greater design flexibility, reduces panel space requirements, and supports future expansion or reconfiguration without major alterations.
Single phase
Some of the features and benefits of the Elucian single phase range that installers are shouting about include:
Compact RCBO design – engineered in a slim, miniature format, allowing more protection devices to be installed within the same enclosure. This improves space efficiency without compromising performance or compliance.
Wide range of consumer unit sizes – available in usable configurations from 7 ways to 19 ways. This offers flexibility to suit a variety of domestic and light commercial installations, from small dwellings to larger, more complex electrical systems.
Flush-fitting lid – provides a clean, low-profile appearance once installed, making it suitable for visible locations while maintaining easy access for inspection and maintenance.
