At LearnElectrics we are sometimes asked about the wiring connections inside a garage consumer unit or mini consumer unit as they are sometimes called.

In this video we will look at just how this is done and provide the information in easy to follow step by step drawings of each stage so that a fuller and more interesting understanding is achieved.

These small consumer units are very versatile and their uses are almost limitless. If installed correctly they can be beneficial to any installation where a small, localised, and self-contained installation is required with local isolation of a particular part of a building.
