No What you are saying is wrong.... plain and simple.

a 32A mcb will carry that load quite happily and will not trip until the load is increased.

Thats not pedantic ....

what are these usually used for?

Sorry about earlier , sarcasm Dan , couldn't resist.

Main use for 10 amp MCBs is probably commercial/industrial lighting circuits.

For exact tripping characteristics see Sarni's earlier post ; \

Yes, thought I'd just have quick look at the Forum , Missus has been on the thing all evening, buying things we can't afford on ebay.

Trouble is it can be addictive, plus Orange keep dropping the connection while I'm typing a post or reply, press the box and I'm offline again. Sometimes they are a waste of space.
