Circuit breaker compatible with GE EP61 range

[chrisg1979]

Can anyone advise as to which mcb’s are compatible with the ge ep61’s?

Need to swap one first thing tomorrow.

Thought I’d seen a thread in the past about compatible circuit breakers but can’t fimd one now.

Thanks in advance

Are the 3871's or 60898's ? Am pretty sure the 60898s are backwards compatible with GE breakers unlike some other brands.

regs dont allow mixing of breakers any more

They are 60898’s

The law has not allowed mixing of breakers for over 10 years possibly 30+

Well can anyone suggest where I can get one because as far as I can see they are obsolete!

Sharpie beat me to it  ,  ( He's good at that )  yes there are GE breakers on ebay  , its probably the best place for such things . 

Although there are some outfits specialising  in this kind of thing .    Theres one in Brum  just by Spaghetti Junction  , I'll have the number somewhere if you're stuck .  

I may have some GE MCBs myself  .

I would argue that they always made you responsible for the type testing. However they have made this more explicit due to the failure of many to grasp this.
