bs88 for single 230v

[allybally]

I know this might sound like a daft question and I think I know the answer, but a Hager bs88 fuse carrier is rated at 415v three phase, I want to use it for 230v single phase, for a welder, I take it there's nothing wrong with that as long as the readings are ok, I haven't tested or even installed it yet but I'm on TN-S and very much doubt I'll get the Zs even close to low enough

Thanks and be kind

Bloody hell it was a simple question, I've never come across a bs88 fuse in domestic before (not the bs88-2), didn't even know you could get a din rail mountable carrier that would fit inside a consumer unit, normally just use MCB's, even my wholesaler had not heard of them, just wanted to do it right! 1st time...

No need to swear mate. People are trying to help you, but if you don't supply the correct and sufficient amount of information it's impossible to do so. The solution is in your hands(fingers)...

but it in answer to the original post, yes. Does that help?

Can you take a pic and post it, it sounds like your CU has been adapted in some way even I'm scratching my head trying to think what you have there?

Hi Ally.. I'm not interested in the 'discussion' thats going on here, but I often seem unable to upload pictures/files IF I am trying to do so half way through a thread.

The way I have got around this is by clicking on the 'go advanced' button to the bottom right of the box you are writing in and then upload the picture as normal by clicking on the icon that states 'insert image' as you hover over it.

Good luck and well done for not getting too worked up!

The voltage rating is its maximum rating, you can use less.

MCBs can come with 415v on, main switches can come with 690v on...its just the maximum rating...

Well I'm disappointed with the end to this thread...

I was looking forward to you eating that humble pie Mr DS

I guess we'll never know!

I ain't got no problem eating humble pie when it's due. I had a hunch however that it wasn't gonna be necessary in this case!
