Are these not a shock hazard
The consumer unit is earthed. However, unless the coating on the CU is conductive ( unlikely) the fault path would be completed by anyone touching the plates because the plates would not be in direct electrical contact with the case.

Hello. The consumer unit blank is classed as a small size and its location in the consumer unit cover means it should not come into accidental contact with live parts. Thank you for your interest in our Crabtree brand.
