Bs 3871 Fuses

[Amlec]

So guys working on a job where there is a MEM DB with BS 3871 mcbs. Can you still get the MCBs if not does anyone know if BS 60898 mcbs or BS 61009 rcbo's will fit in the board.

 

[Andy™]

you can probably get MCB's from somewhere to go in

 

[Sidewinder]

It depends!

You cannot use any other make of MCB without the manufacturers approval, else their liability for any failures or issues will end up with you...

What "model" of MEM breaker is there now?

Can you not change the board?

What do you guys do when you are working on older installations where there are BS 3871 MCBs. Do you source the BS 3871 or suggest a board change.
