Problem with mcbs in wylex NM506L board.

[ShedMan]

I bought the NM506L from Superlec and specified the current rating for the mcbs to fit it
What they supplied are Wylex PSB mcb's and they don't fit, at least they misalign with the switch by 4 mm and you can't put the cover on.
Can anyone tell me what mcbs I should be using. I never thought different mcb's by the same manufacturer wouldn't interchange and obviously, Superlec didn't identify that either

might be easier to change the main switch for one that lines up with the MCBs. assuming the MCBs align with the lid.

 

[ShedMan]

The switch comes pre-assembled so it matches the slot in the cover. It's the mcbs that don't.

You need NHX devices PSB are for the NHTN boards.

Thank you, I wonder why they don't specify that in the literature

Superlec are at fault they have supplied non compatible devices.

 

[telectrix]

not fitted wylex in a coon's age . think the last wylex i fitted has 3036's in it.

I wonder why they don't specify that in the literature

Probably because they expect the person on the trade counter to have some basic knowledge of the products they are selling.

It would be unusual for them to actually have PSB breakers.

 

[Dartlec]

The Wylex NSX don't properly fit with the old NSB breakers either, even though wholesalers seem to claim they are compatible.

Or at least they don't fit with a bar type busbar - end up 2mm too high when trying to get the cover back on.

I wish companies would at least stay consistent with older ranges. In an ideal world they'd be a proper standard and then they'd have to market them on their quality rather than a race to the bottom on price.
