- The Easy9 range is the “go-to” for domestic installations, offering a balance of reliability and cost-effectiveness.
- The Resi9 range offers higher specifications and enhanced safety features compared to the standard Easy9.
- While technically a distribution board system (like the Acti9 Isobar P), it is often used as the “consumer unit” for high-load commercial environments.
Regardless of the range, modern Schneider units typically include:
- Surge Protection Devices (SPD): Integrated Type 2 SPDs are now standard in most kits to protect electronics.
- RCBOs: Individual circuit protection to prevent “nuisance tripping” across the whole house.
- Solar Ready: Compatibility with Bidirectional RCBOs, which are essential if you are installing Solar PV and battery storage.
