kq or kqe circuit breakers

[Sparky_Ben]

I am after the above, in a type b 6A breaker and a 16A rcbo for a socket radial in a loft, does anyone know of a supplier who has these in stock, tried rs and they charge £70 for the rcbo and £11 for the 6A, I am sure they will be cheaper somewhere else, and its for a quickline 2 board if that helps.

thanks

try ebay. these obsolete bits of kit are expensive from wholesalers

Square D take the biscuit on price for older type stuff I was quoted £149 the other week for a QOE RCBO.

Have you tried flea bay ?

 

[Sparky_Ben]

do you know of a type that will fit if unable to source the originals?

 

[Sparky_Ben]

i am looking on fleabay now, just messaged a couple of sellers, some items are described as new? have these been obsolete long?

 

[Sparky_Ben]

i take it the new range from square d wont fit these boards?

 

[tony mc]

No different size and mounting they won't make it that easy.

 

[telectrix]

nothing else will fit. believe me, not even with the use of a lump hammer.

alternative would be to split tails and fit a "Garage board"

Buy Fuses Online from The Fuse Company seem to stock a lot of obsolete stuff

KQ You can take the prongs off fit to new breaker SORTED
normal merlin breakers fit no Problem

yeah i had thought about using the garage board option, as it will be rcd protected as required and already comes with the breaker sizes i need.
