Good news for electricians and contractors who've been asking for it. Alert Electrical now stocks the complete FuseBox range, covering everything from consumer units through to RCBOs, MCBs, surge protection and EV charger distribution boards.
If you haven't specified FuseBox before, or you're just after a quick refresher on what's in the range, here's everything you need to know.
Who are FuseBox?
FuseBox is a UK circuit protection brand based in Kilmarnock, Scotland, and has built a strong reputation among electricians since launching in 2017. The brand's products are designed and manufactured by CP Electric, with a focus on straightforward installation, robust build quality and competitive pricing across domestic, commercial and industrial applications.
You'll usually recognise a FuseBox product by its distinctive pink packaging, but it's what's inside that matters. The range is designed around current UK wiring regulations, with consumer units built to BS EN 61439-3 and products designed with BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 in mind.

FuseBox consumer units
FuseBox is best known for its extensive range of metal consumer units, and the range covers most of what you're likely to need for a domestic or light commercial job.
Options include:
- Main switch consumer units
- Dual RCD (split load) consumer units
- Type 2 surge protection consumer units
- Dual tariff consumer units
- Double and triple bank consumer units for larger installations
- EV charger distribution units
- Garage and small distribution units
Consumer units in the range are built from 1mm steel with a powder coated finish, and installer friendly touches like top mounted earth and neutral bars, removable DIN rails and round cable entry knockouts on multiple faces are designed to save time on site.
RCBOs, MCBs and other protection devices
Alongside the consumer units, FuseBox offers a full line of protective devices to complete the distribution board.
For anyone who wants a plain English refresher, an RCBO combines the functions of an RCD and an MCB in a single device, giving both overcurrent and earth fault protection on one circuit. An MCB protects against overload and short circuit but doesn't offer earth fault protection on its own, which is why RCBOs have become the more common choice for individual circuit protection.
The FuseBox range covers:
- Type A RCBOs
- Mini and bidirectional RCBOs
- MCBs
- RCDs
- AFDDs (Arc Fault Detection Devices)
- Type 2 surge protection devices
- Main switches and fused switches
- Installation contactors
Worth flagging for anyone speccing new installations: since Amendment 2 of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2018+A2:2022), AFDDs have been a mandatory requirement for single phase AC circuits up to 32A feeding socket outlets in higher risk residential buildings, HMOs, purpose built student accommodation and care homes, and they're recommended more widely. FuseBox's AFDD range gives you a straightforward way to meet that requirement without switching to a different brand mid-board.
You'll find the full selection on our circuit protection category page, alongside other leading brands.
Surge protection as standard
A growing number of installations now call for Type 2 surge protection, whether that's to meet the overvoltage protection assessment under the current regulations or simply to protect sensitive electronics from transient surges.
FuseBox makes this easy, with a wide selection of consumer units available with Type 2 SPD already factory fitted, plus standalone SPD units for retrofitting onto existing boards. It means you're not left trying to find space or a workaround on a job where surge protection wasn't originally specified.
EV charger distribution units
With EV charging installations now a regular part of many electricians' workload, FuseBox offers dedicated distribution and protection units built specifically for this purpose. These typically combine a main switch, RCBO or RCD protection and Type 2 surge protection in one compact unit, making it easier to wire in a dedicated EV charging circuit without needing to rework an existing consumer unit.
If you're specifying a full EV charging installation, it's worth pairing these with the EV chargers available at Alert Electrical.
Built for commercial and industrial jobs too
FuseBox isn't limited to domestic boards. The range also includes TPN (three phase and neutral) distribution boards, giving contractors a familiar circuit protection brand to work with across domestic, commercial and light industrial projects, rather than switching brands depending on the job.
