Emma consumer unit

[m4tty]

Hi,

I've come across a fuseboard today called "Emma"

I believe it's a contactum but wondered if anyone knew what breakers fit if you've come across these boards before ?

Thanks

I know Emma, she blew a fuse when I tried to........hohoho

I think its a Contactum " Alternative brand name " I can only guess that they take the same breakers .

I wish makers wouldn't cloud the issues with this carp TBH, like Crabtree marketing identical stuff under the Volex name , I don't see the point.

Remember you cant fit anything other than Emma breakers or the world will end.

lol was she tall, leggy and blonde

o wait we are referring to a c/u not a pretty young lady

I have used Emma 6242YH clips at college, I found them to be the best I have tried so far. Whether or not this is the same company we are talking about is another matter.

Is she LUCY's sister?

and there was me thinking she was Bill's sister

lol noz, she may well be

i got a little dissapointed when i realised it wasnt a referral to a pretty young lady

iv just been doing a bit o research everytime i search for emma consumer units it always links back to contactum boards so i would tend to agree with others in respect that contactum breakers should fit the board in question... i would however perhaps obtain a contactum mcb 1st and try it out just to make sure, alternatively try mcbfinder.co.uk maybe they could help!

@canoe : its ok i didnt get to disheartened lol

I can tell you with absolute certainty that "EMMA" and "Contactum" are identical in looks and fit except for the name

 

[husky2013]

cheers for confirming that Noz

i wasnt sure as id never heard of the brand 'Emma' before although i had heard of Contactum

I think EMMA is something like the electro & mechanical manufacturers association. Its like a buying group that wholesalers use but I could be totally wrong.

 

[Stator_Electrical]

I think "EMMA" used to be the own brand of CEF.... not sure if this is still the case TBH

 

[Steve3948]

I was under the impression that EMMA was a buying group like Avenue and Alto.

CEF is Tamlite, CEFCO and a few others.
