CCU has been used interchangeably with CU in the past.
CCU - customers consumer unit
CU - consumer unit
It used to turn up on architects plans and was in some of the text books when I was an apprentice.
 
I don't think I had heard a cooker switch called a CCU in all the time I was training, we just called them 45A or 32A DP switches.

Seems a bit daft to me really, it doesn't get called a SCU when it is installed as a shower isolator. Or a DSU if it's installed as an isolator for a dimmer.

Most of it seems totally bonkers to me these days but that's the way I was taught, I still ask for green sleeving at the wholesalers when its been green and yellow for longer than l care to remember. That's the trouble with abreviations, they can so easily be mistaken for something else.
