Fuse Board Upgrades
Although your older fuse board (assumed to be rewireable fuses) continued to supply your electricity needs, the form of protection would be a minimal 5amp fuse wire that until it overloaded and burnt out would continue to supply fault current – which in a fault state could kill. Latest fuse boards/consumer units contain RCD protection devices which trip the supply on a detected earth fault at 30 milliamps in milliseconds, thus reducing as much as possible the chance of fatal shock. The overload device fuse / MCB is protecting the circuit from overload only.
