What Crabtree type RCBO fits this board?

[Reese Sangha]

Hello guys, completely forgot to remove the board cover to check what type of rcbo was required for this particular Crabtree board. Anyone from experience know which type RCBO fits?

thanks in advance!!

Crabtree Starbreaker.

Starbreaker 32A Single Pole 1 Module B Curve 6kA 30mA Compact Type A RCBO

Quicker and easier to install

difficult to tell without better pic and info. can you get a pic with cover off?

I'm 99% sure that's a Starbreaker. Don't think the other varieties have "Crabtree" in small letters at the bottom. Also the width.

 

[telectrix]

thought they may be the old SB6000. with the exposed terminals.

 

[Reese Sangha]

Cheers guys, fingers crossed it’s the starbreaker type then!!

Starbreaker.

Ah yes, but I think the original main switch had SB6000 on it...and Crabtree in green writing.
We'll soon see!

Starbreaker.

They are the new style the old grey lettered ones are originals.

I would say that RCBO won't fit in that DB

Why's that a Starbreaker compact rcbo should fit straight in.

It's a brave man who argues with Westy's opinion of what device fits in what board!

 

[hasel5]

Stand corrected you could be lucky

They fit, just protrude a bit, ok with CT tech.

Also the width.

?? DIN module is 17.5mm, and it's clearly not two module.

I'm sure you're right - I've always felt Starbreaker modules manage to look chunky, optical illusion probably!

 

[westward10]

Polestar are wider than your average device.

 

[brianmoooore]

Polestar is one DIN module wide = 17.5mm

The width of a DIN rail mounted device is standardised (maybe multiples of 0.5 module), as is the height of the bit that projects through the panel, and the positioning of that bit relative to the DIN rail.
All other dimensions, such as the depth of the device, the depth of the bit that projects through the panel, the height of the device, and the positioning of the in and out terminals is definitely and most unhelpfully, not standardised.

Bored this evening, so dug through my box of bits and found both - pretty sure it's a Starbreaker (The one I have is actually one of the late 3871 Type Bs)



Side by Side with a modern Starbreaker





So I presume a modern SB RCBO will fit without any problem.

If only other manufacturers cough Wylex were so careful about insuring compatibility over such a long period.

 

[westward10]

My pic shows both those styles in happy partnership.

Especially Crabtree, I think they are his board of choice.

Possibly some sponsorship going on? ?
