Electricity Supply Intake

            Electricity is produced in the power station and is 'fed' to our homes

   through the service cable .  There is a service breaker , it is to prevent

   overcurrent .  The KWH meter is to calculate the energy consumption by

   the user .  The electricity passes through the consumer unit where there is an

   isolator fixed inside to cut off the supply when overload or overcurrent

   occurs .  From there we are able to get the supply to use for our daily needs .

   Consists of a double pole isolator , RCCB and a number of MCBs
