I took one of the sockets apart, but there’s no brand name on them.
I’ll just find uk sockets that look the same colour.

The treadmill problem, I changed the circuit to a 20A mcb, but couldn’t get the same type. Again, must be European sourced, but the uk version fits perfectly.

The MBS116 on the left came out the consumer unit… don’t know how you’re supposed to unscrew the connection with the little plastic tab over the screw.
The UK MTN116 on the right for comparison.

The outgoing terminal is a push fit… with a maximum of two cables. The release is a plastic button is place of the cage screw.

No part numbers anywhere? I tried the 8020G8(B) visible in your image, but it lead nowhere.

Interesting.

Found a video which shows some sort of quick fit busbar being used on a 3 phase equivalent - though the tab was broken off for connecting a neutral. I guess if the tab is broken off you know it may be a "used" breaker, so might be handy if buying from an unknown seller...


I was wondering how they would be listed on an UK EIC or EICR, but google suggests they are to IEC/EN 60898-1 which is direct equivalent I guess.

So would the BS EN standard allow for push fit connectors already maybe, just that so far noone has taken the plunge to market them here?
