Just to say a big thank you to all who have contributed so far to this topic, I am sure it will be a very useful reference to many forum members. I think the photos are a really great help for people to actually picture what particular brand/makes look like. Keep it up guys/girls and any more photos will be very welcome I am sure. Thank you Theory spark for starting this thread.

Theory & GH - Have you managed to compile the lists as planned, Gents?

Many Thanks,

Admin.

Newey and Eyres own brand is identical to Wylex, they tell me wylex make them.

MK Breakers fit Merlin Gerin boards, but have a lower breaking capacity.

Can we make this "sticky" by any chance?

 

[mikel]

Anyone got an idea of what make rcbo might fit a MEM board with MEM 2000 mcbs in it

 

[Evans Electric]

Control Centre Mcb will fit a Merlin Gerin board , in fact its identical .

 

[steptoe]

wylex RCBO will fit but if I remember it sticks out a little far and the door may not close properly.

also, wylex RCBO will fit MK sentry, bit of fiddling to get it in but a spot on fit electrically wise.

Square D KQ Board - Sod All Drives me mad, loads installed round here, struggle to get anything other than common MCBs

Im fairly sure them breakers will fit merlin gerin though.

 

[steptoe]

where did the what fits thread go.?

or am I just thick?

anyway, a Wylex RCBO will fit a loadlimiter board if you have space beside it,,,,

dunno why, just seems to be too tight to actually fit between other devices, if I have time will check it out more next week.

Thank you Apache, I have merged Steptoes thread into the correct thread you found. I was going to delete your reply, but it does have an amusing value. Theory's original thread has been made sticky, I think it quite useful as both a regular question and more MCB & CU makes will no doubt be added.

Have used these 'pods' in the past on MEM 2000 domestic boards. They clip onto the top of the MCB.

Hello Folks,

Please can anyone tell me what SP MCB (if any) will fit in an old Dorman Smith (loadmaster) Series 15 3P board? Went to a job today and switched off some of the said breakers, but one of them will not stay in the closed position, havent even touched any circuits. Went about testing circuit for that breaker, no faults found, so breaker must be broken. Have found a few used replacements on ebay etc, but was hoping I can fit a newer model/make. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Link shows exact type I am asking question about -

[Andy™]

they look very similar to crabtree C50's

 

[flyingspark]

Thanks Andy, but it looks like the exposed bit is more of center than Dorman Smith, so will prob. cause probs with cover. Anyone else?
