Tested a Crabtree Polestar board today full of Sector rcbos, tested many of these boards and never seen this. The only Crabtree devices were two mcbs but the Sector devices are identical to Crabtree devices. Out of the nineteen four failed which is something you don't get with Crabtree rcbos...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any idea if these mcb's can be replaced with RCBO's in the Crabtree board??
Any help would be much appreciated, Many thanks.
Went to fit one today and noticed that there were no middle screw holes to secure the middle yoke (normally use MK where there are 3 rows of screw holes)? Spoke to other guys who said that they either pack the middle row out with washers, or drill a middle set of screw holes. Spoke to Crabtree...
Hi all,
First of all, i'm sorry if I am not permitted to post here as I am most definitely not an electrician (so excuse my ignorance)
Since yesterday, I have not been able to use any sockets, due to my RCCB Split-Load tripping. If I switch the "sockets" switch on my consumer unit, it will...
I have just started using the metal cased crabtree boards as of the new regs. With these bored you get a small grommet strip for the knock out, when ever you even breathe on the unit the grommet strip falls off, let alone even trying to pull cables thorugh is there anything you can do to keep...
Anyone know of any rcbo that can be a straight swap for the old style crab tree screw on mcbs sb6000 type 1
The old boards do not give much room so they need to be a single pole swap , if not i will have to change the unit for new but very limited space .
anyone know of any brand that fits the...

Hi
Looking for 1 x 40A RCCB Crabtree type 1. Can't seem to find one anywhere!
Does anyone know if another RCCB will fit or if theres companies still selling these?
Thanks

trying to connect a 2 way lighting circuit. Previous electrician clearly had no 3 core and used 2x T&E. It's is a Crabtree grid switch with L, L1 & L2. I have belled out ends and know what's what. But when connecting the RCD is tripping out.
Any ideas
cheers
Does anyone know if you can still get the Crabtree C50 MCBs bs 3871 (single phase) that are genuine and not second hand. If not do you know of an mcb that can be retrofitted into the old distribution boards.
Hi Folks,
Just a quickie, that you may know instantly. Are split load 16th edition 5+5 Starbreaker boards changeable to 4+6. Need an extra way on the RCD side if possible and not too familiar with these boards. They are the plug-in type breakers.
Had a look on electrium but no joy thus far...
I installed a 32A Crabtree rcbo then came to testing it! It tripped fine but the readings were as follows >310mS @x1 and >50mS @x5, is the rcbo faulty.
All connection were fine.
The board was a split load with an RCD protected side, I tested this RCD and obtained satisfactory readings!!
I...
I've found one 32A RCBO (double way), but I know you can get single way Steeple RCBO's as I've seen them, but I just cant see them anymore!!
Does anyone know where to find RCBO's that will fit this Consumer Unit? I need x3 32A and x1 6A...
I have spent quite a while looking!
Ebay has the x1...
Hi I have to remove a screw less chrome ( NOT THE FLAT ONES) cover plate of a crabtree shave socket and no luck to date
I notice that there are two little gaps that you can put a flat blade into but nothing seems to happen and I don't want to put loads of force on it in case it bends
Any...
I'm currently in the process of a house refurb and next on my to-do list is light switches and wall sockets.
I've narrowed it down to two brands which are MK & Crabtree and Screwfix stock both at reasonable prices.
Which brand shall I go for?
