What is meant by a "Split Load" in a consumer unit?

It means that some of the circuits are protected by a RCD (residual
currenr device) and some are not. Each circuit still has its own
breaker and there is a double pole main switch that controls all
circuits.

The lighting can be on the circuit without the RCD, being at very low
risk of zapping you, compared to the power circuit. They did this so
that if the power goes off you still have lighting to find your way
around while looking to fix the power.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
