Why are older fuseboard unsafe?

Older fuseboards which are around 15 -20 years old will struggle to manage the electrical demands of modern households. Outdated fuseboards were designed to support lower electricity demands and lack modern safety features. 
High power systems such as EV charging and electric showers which are now common in most homes can cause the main fuse to fail if your home has an older fuseboard.

RCD or residual current device is a feature lacking in older fuse boards. Wiring Regulations BS7671 actually requires any circuits in the bathroom, considered to be a “special location” to have RCD protection. So an older fuse board could be putting your household at risk of electric shocks.
