Wylex NB20

Deleted member 9648 · Oct 9, 2015

If anyone's got an NB20 type 2 (the really old ones) kicking around they could sell me kindly PM me.....Need one following a small job today (pond socket back to back with an inside socket). Recently refurbed house,lots of electrics done, NAPIT cert showing all tests, including as expected r1,rn and r2 results. Only when I tested I got open circuit on all 3. So much for NAPIT certs,toilet paper this particular one.
After much deliberation it was decided to reduce the present 30a mcb on the circuit to a 20a and see how it goes....might not be viable as the kitchen is on it along with most of the rest of the house,if there are problems then we'll look at splitting to two radials ,but client reluctant to spend any time/money on it.

Might have one, I'll check and post back ( does it have to be 20, or would a 15 do?).

....sorry, only a 15 but it's yours if it's any use.

Which I suspect reflects how few there are available!

I fitted a 3 phase one of them a few months ago, I just picked it up from the wholesalers.
If you're anywhere near a branch then try Wilson's electrical distributors, they had a selection of them on the shelf when I was looking for one

Thanks fella's...yes seen them on ebay at silly money,but if that's all I can find it will have to be. Annoying because I've got every other rating in the store bar 20a !!
