Why Choose the ABB EPH-S16216 Protecta Home 16-Way 100A Dual RCD Consumer Unit?
The ABB EPH-S16216 (1TVC151800S3068) is a 16-way, 100 A main switch consumer unit with two 63 A residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs), designed for residential and light commercial electrical distribution. Part of the ABB Protecta Home range, this split-load consumer unit combines centralised supply isolation, residual current protection and flexible outgoing circuit distribution within a robust steel enclosure.
Featuring a 100 A main switch-disconnector and 2 × 63 A RCCBs, the EPH-S16216 allows outgoing circuits to be arranged into two separately protected groups. Its variable split-load arrangement offers installation flexibility, enabling electricians to allocate circuits between the RCCBs according to the approved assembly configuration and the electrical installation design.
With 16 outgoing ways and manufacturer-listed nominal dimensions of 250 × 450 × 105 mm (H × W × D), the ABB EPH-S16216 provides additional circuit capacity compared with smaller Protecta Home split-load models. It is an effective choice for installations requiring multiple protected circuits, practical maintenance access and dependable ABB electrical distribution equipment.

Flexible Dual RCD Protection for 16-Way Split-Load Installations
The ABB EPH-S16216 combines a 100 A main switch with two 63 A RCCBs to provide incoming supply isolation and residual current protection for two groups of outgoing circuits. This split-load arrangement allows electricians to distribute circuits between separate RCCBs, rather than placing all circuits under one residual current protective device.
The variable split arrangement is an important feature of ABB Protecta Home RCCB split-load consumer units. It allows the distribution of outgoing ways between the two RCCB groups to be configured in accordance with ABB's approved assembly arrangements. With 16 outgoing ways, the EPH-S16216 offers additional flexibility for installations with multiple lighting, socket outlet and dedicated equipment circuits.
The 63 A rating of each RCCB is its rated current, not its residual operating current. RCCBs provide residual current protection but do not independently protect against overloads or short circuits. Appropriately selected outgoing overcurrent protective devices, suitable upstream protection and correct circuit allocation are therefore essential. Installation must comply with the applicable requirements of BS 7671 and the manufacturer's instructions.
Typical Applications
- Residential consumer unit installations in houses and apartments.
- New-build housing developments requiring multiple outgoing circuits.
- Domestic electrical distribution board replacements and upgrades.
- Property renovation and electrical refurbishment projects.
- Split-load electrical installations requiring two RCCB-protected circuit groups.
- Lighting, socket outlet and dedicated equipment circuits with suitable outgoing protection.
- Light commercial premises and small offices.
- Garages, workshops and ancillary building electrical distribution.
- Indoor electrical distribution systems requiring a 16-way consumer unit.
- Installations using compatible ABB modular circuit protection devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB EPH-S16216 used for?
The ABB EPH-S16216 is a 16-way dual RCD consumer unit designed for residential and light commercial electrical distribution. It incorporates a 100 A main switch and two 63 A RCCBs to support separately protected outgoing circuit groups.
How many outgoing ways does the ABB EPH-S16216 provide?
The EPH-S16216 provides 16 outgoing ways for compatible modular circuit protection devices. The final number and arrangement of circuits must follow the approved consumer unit configuration and electrical installation design.
What is the main switch rating of the ABB EPH-S16216?
The EPH-S16216 incorporates a 100 A main switch-disconnector for manual isolation of the incoming electrical supply. The main switch does not itself provide overload, short-circuit or residual current protection.
How many RCDs are included in the ABB EPH-S16216?
The consumer unit includes two 63 A residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs). These provide residual current protection for two separately configured groups of outgoing circuits.
What does 2x63A RC mean in the ABB EPH-S16216 description?
2x63A RC identifies the two residual current protection devices, each with a 63 A rated current. This is different from the residual operating current, which must be confirmed from the specific RCCB specification.
What are the dimensions of the ABB EPH-S16216?
The ABB EPH-S16216 has nominal enclosure dimensions of 250 mm high, 450 mm wide and 105 mm deep, as listed in ABB's Protecta Home consumer unit selection information.
Can the 16 outgoing ways be divided between the two RCCBs?
Yes. ABB specifies a variable split arrangement for its Protecta Home RCCB split-load consumer units. The allocation of outgoing ways between the two RCCB groups must follow the manufacturer's approved assembly instructions.
Does the ABB EPH-S16216 provide overload protection?
The 100 A main switch provides supply isolation, while the two 63 A RCCBs provide residual current protection. These devices do not independently provide outgoing circuit overload or short-circuit protection, so suitable overcurrent protective devices are required.
What is the difference between the ABB EPH-S16216 and EPH-S16212?
The EPH-S16216 provides 16 outgoing ways and measures 250 × 450 × 105 mm, while the EPH-S16212 provides 12 outgoing ways and measures 250 × 380 × 105 mm. Both feature a 100 A main switch and two 63 A RCCBs.
What is the ABB order code for the EPH-S16216?
The official ABB order code is 1TVC151800S3068. The model is EPH-S16216, described as EPH-S16216 16W 100A ISO 2x63A RC in the ABB Protecta Home range.
