Will modern mini Hagar RCBO's fit this older Hagar board?

[HappyHippyDad]

It's a long shot, but do the mini hagar RCBO's fit this board? It's too small to fit standard RCBO's in, even if they lined up on the bus bar. Just trying to give an alternative to a new board to the customer!

Cheers all ?

Hager are pretty good at keeping to same pattern of breakers for years. 5 yearsa agow i fitted new MCBs in a 1960's 3 phase board.not sure about RCBOs. why not ask Hager, or get one from supplier and try it.

Looks very similar board to this? If so, I fitted Hager mini RCBOs in there no problems, and I'm pretty damn sure a full height RCBO in there too, 45A for the shower circuit.

BTW, it's a 100mA RCD main switch, hence the RCBOs

Hagar will not fit, but Hager will definitely fit. ?

Get yourself on WhatsApp and ask them

This may help visually?

Yes they will

Well, it seems everyone has said they will fit..... apart from the whatsapp Hagar tech department.

If you look closely at my picture you will see that the MCB's are M3 not M6 as in @Pretty Mouth 's picture. The hagar chap said the mini RCBO's would probably fit as a replacement for the M6's but not the M3's.

It would be very interesting if anyone has both of these, or even if you have one, and can post a picture of it so we can see the fittings as the back and bottom and see if they are different (between the M3 and M6). Seems unlikely, but for him to specifically mention this, I expect he's right.

Thanks Mike, however It seems the only way I will know for sure is if someone has both of them and posts up a pic (unlikely), or I just take one along and try (haven't even got the quote yet though!). I'll post an update if I get the quote and manage to try one of the mini RCBO's.
