Hagar 3ph Boards

[Apache]

Gents

Is this a current board?



Can I run a 3ph motor 2.6KW off the 20A C MCB?

Can I replace the C32 with a couple of MCB's and a RCBO?

Which type of RCBO:

iirc hager MCB busbar design has never changed so any hager device should fit

2.6kw 3 phase is around 4a. id be looking at a smaller MCB, although 20 would probably be fine. equipment probably has its own fuses / overload on the motor anyway

It's a 2 post car lift. I was just trying to avoid spending ~£40 on another MCB

As long as cable higher rated I thought it was OK?

MCB is to protect the wiring so is its 2.5 on a short length then yes your 20a will be fine

One of the reasons I like Hager (and chose that for my own house)  is they don't keep messing with the size and appearance of the mcb's so a current one will fit an ancient board and will still look the same, unlike Wylex, Crabtree, MK etc etc etc.

Thanks, Dave. Which type of RCBO? TLC list 2 types.

Did you get your house finished? I've not been on here for ages.

I used the full sized Hager rcbo's in my all rcbo board.   I made sure I fitted my board in December 2015 so it's the older design with a metal case the the front is plastic. I think in the 3 phase boards there might not be so much room so you would have to use the compact ones.

House is not yet finished. We are living in it now, but still a lot to do. Someone coined a phrase, 90% complete, only 90% left to do.

I'll get the compact one then. Thanks.
