will it fit, and is it acceptable?

[telectrix]

so. hager say they won't fit. forum brains say they will. i know who i'm going to believe! (forum members aren't trying to sell new CUs)

Anyway tell me how it goes the problem I had was I was called out and my tin where I keep the spare mcbs in did not have an hagar (I do now) or I would have tried it

That's interesting. I just split tails on a TT with just a 100ma timed RCD and CB to feed an swa submain. I assumed the RCD was ok as a main switch. Not so?

That's fine mate.
Table 53.4 has your answer

Dont want to rain on your parade but I had a problem with a 1361 Hager board as the cartridge fuse had blown and this was sourced to the GU10 lamp blowing fine so the letting agent said we cannot call you out every time a lamp goes how do you fix it so I wrote ta hager and they said no you cannot put a mcb in. Will try and dig this out.

Here you go

Me Technical question:
Hi can you swap over on a Hagar consumer unit a BS1361 cartridge fuse holder with a Hager MCB
ie will a MCB fit

Hagar
Hi



I'm sorry there is no MCB that will fit in place of the cartridge fuse



Regards

Now I did ask if I could replace the holder and the reply was no you cannot replace the cartridge fuse but I think they meant the cartridge fuse holder (they had better)

From Hager's comment it sounds like they are suggesting there is no MCB the size and shape of a cartridge fuse they seem to overlook changing the cartridge fuse holder for an MCB which BTW I have done many times
