Hello all,
I know i can still get these on ebay, but does anybody know which other brand will fit in these boards as want to buy new if possible? Will need mcbs and rcbos too if a brand fits.
had the misfortune to install this today. came with isolator and RCDs. no MCBs .
as you can see, the guts are way out. caused by din rail being badly fixed. close on the left but 1/4" out at the right. all been wired up and fired up, so had to loose the din rail just to get cover on. got...
Hi all,
Anyone know what the BS EN number is for these now obsolete breakers?
Model number is MCB<RATING>G. I know they can be replaced with Hager gear, but I've not been able to find any clue (on the breakers themselves or on-line) about whether they are in fact 60898 apart from the odd...

Guys,
Just a quick bit of advice.
I was conducting a EICR and came across a square D board with all square D MCBs apart from 4 schneider MCBs were they must of been upgrades to the installation.
Are these MCBs compatable with each other? If not am i correct in noting this as a code 3?
thanks...

The bottom number is the energy limiting class. This is referenced in...

Quick question possibly a stupid one - a click of the thanks button guaranteed for the first right answer.:lol:
Is it good practice/required to record describe them on the schedule of test results, or not ?
Of course I have come across Type 2 MCBs in old installations but trying to buy replacements has never been easy. Does anybody still use these on new installations?
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.
Wanted any old MCBs & Rcbos want for cash.
