Not sure whether I've asked this or not before but the long and short of it is a while ago I needed to fit a crabtree board at short notice and as I hate using my phone to order stuff I managed to click on the older Crabtree stock which had the AC RCD's in them. I didn't even notice until I'd...
One of my customers has a TPN board fitted with some Crabtree Polestar MCBs with attached RCDs, and I was wanting to confirm the type of RCD (i.e. AC, A). The RCD modules have either no marking to indicate type, or are marked with the logo for Type AC or Type A. See attached photos.
I'm...
Hi guys,
I don’t really know where to post this, sorry if it’s in the wrong place.
After posting a thread about old lead sheathed cable in my attic, Lucien gave me a very good history lesson on the cable which was very interesting and it gave me a big interest in old electrical cables and...
Hi all,
I needed to replace an MCB for an electric shower with a different rating, it's an older Loadstar consumer unit, and crabtree told me word for word that the new loadstar MCBs are compatible with all the older loadstar boards, I am not sure I agree. Pictures below for your thoughts...
Hi Guys
Forget to take cover off on last visit, back there Tue and need to sort some RCD protection.
Will this rcbo fit in this 'older starbreaker' DB ? couple pics attached
Thanks Sy
Does anyone know offhand which SP MCBs are compatible with Crabtree Powerstar 3Ph boards?
I need to take a 60a supply from this board but I can only find used ones on eBay and the company don’t want to buy used stuff.
I can’t seem to find them new anywhere (probably me not looking in the...
I have a job which is needing a new CU. What would the general view about a new Crabtree loadstar SPN 125A board being used as a domestic consumer unit. I know it will work, I was just wondering about the inspection and how some may argue it some how not right.
Thanks
I'm working off a photo and haven't been there yet - I think these are Crabtree Polestar breakers in this old 3 phase board?
Do the slightly newer design fit that CEF peddle fit?
thanks.
Hi,
I completed an EICR at a customer home in the week and came across this old Crabtree DNO equipment in the meter cupboard. Just two questions really
1. Does anyone know what the BS number of this equipment is (See pictures)
2. Will the DNO replace it if the customer requests an isolator...
Hi everyone
I have a job that requires a 63a 1ph supply to a small unit, the main distribution panel is a Crabtree Powerstar. I am struggling to locate an MCCB for it. I have a part number of 7PBGN163 but I am wondering if the 7PBGB163 is compatible if anyone knows. I think they are possibly...
Hi, I need to replace a Crabtree Starbreaker B32 RCBO 30mA CIRCUIT BREAKER. 61/B3230 old type which is now obsolete and can only be bought online from Ebay.
Comapring the image of the breaker online, there is a small difference to the one that needs replacing. Printed above 30mA is a square box...
Evening All
Quick question please and hope it's poss.
With an older star breaker split load DB, can I take out all the guts (apart from 100 DP iso) and convert to full rcbo?
Are all the 'plug in bits' a live terminal (e.g behind where RCCB currently is) ?
Would make my life easier if so ;-)...

Hello guys, completely forgot to remove the board cover to check what type of rcbo was required for this particular Crabtree board. Anyone from experience know which type RCBO fits?
thanks in advance!!
Hi all,
As the title suggests, I’m after an RCBO to fit an old Crabtree CU.
Was wondering if this style would do it?
All suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance.
Has anybody installed the new Instinct accessories from Crabtree? I like the look of them and they have some nice features for ease of installation. Proper cage clamp terminals (does any other manufacturer offer this?) and lined-up terminals.
How do you find them to install and where are you...
Just a quick heads up to anyone installing the 2 module combined devices. The device consists of a starbreaker RCBO with a Siemens AFDD tacked on the left side with manufacturer fitted links from the RCBO output to the incoming terminals on the AFDD. On a number of the ones I fitted recently the...
