    As above.

    Value. Probably zero.

    May be a daft response but the 2nd picture looks like a very simple circuit like you would have on a very simple caravan, wonder if its a diy power supply for a trailor tent or similar - a bit like the attached propreitary one

    The two plug-in RCDs (devices with green and blue buttons) may come in handy - especially if your current consumer unit (fuse box) is not RCD protected.

    Value, around £6 each!

    Oh, and they may save your life if you happen to accidentally touch a live part of any connected cable/appliance downstream of the RCD! They are intended for use with outdoor equipment but aren't required these days as most houses with an up-to-date consumer unit are protected by an RCD on all circuits.
    If my post hasn't helped you, then don't click the 'Thanks' button! ;)

    ;)Is it a new property, coz i think someone has left the tool behind and the board is a distribution board that may have been used for the trades before any connections to mains were made:)
