I'm working on a 'what brand is this mcb, what works with it, who sold it, this brand is made by...." type thing and could use hive mind input

At the minute it's just images of mcbs with brands on but anything I can get about each one will really help, looking to make a single resource for brand identity and compatability.

I suspect our dearly departed Lucian would have been excellent with this type stuff. Any help appreciated

Looks to be off to a good start.

This could be a task for the "All singing all dancing, going to wipe out millions of jobs and take over the World , Artificial Intelligence"

All you need is to type in "A.I,, compile a database of pictures and cross reference chart of all MCB and RCBO used in the U.K in the last 50 years"

Put the kettle on and have a cup of tea / coffee and by the time you've done that, the task will be complete.
Yeah, right,, better stock up with PLENTY of coffee and teabags.

And if I was compiling this list I'd be putting a couple of obvious fakes in so that when someone does try to use A.I. and it finds this and copies it you can track it.
White text on a white background is always a good way to hide stuff, left click and run the cursor over to reveal.

Just like this.

Any help the community can be PLEASE DO, some brands may be wholesaler specific; Denmans doing Steeple i think is such an example - handy when the old brand goes but the wholesaler does not. All the nuance crap too like Electrium being behind several brands etc, all this stuff is useful and likely stuff the more....seasoned....sparks will know. Give me everything you got!

Nice one! That is a good list, I agree with Tim on needing a sheet just for Wylex, why oh why have they changed so many times and made them incompatible!
Hager and Proteus have hardly changed and most of both their respective ranges are backward compatible!

You thinking more model specifics? NSB NSX etc? i take it the difference is the busbar type? forked vs......?

Well done, very informative and like others some I've never heard of!
Thats quite a task just for MCB's alone but notice you've included some RCD's,RCBO's, MCCB's and Fuse Carriers (Ferraz Shumut) as well, so bringing that lot up to date will be keep you busy!

The LVE and Lewden (CGD) look so similar they must be the same just re-branded??

The Lovato and IMO items are contactors not MCB's and perhaps deserve another catalogue?
