[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 234257, member: 1607"] When out in the real world with an old CU and inability to locate an exact manufactures now obsolete part the next best option has to be considered. As with all business decisions the customers requirements, budget, safety risk assessment and feasibility to complete the job within a reasonable timescale, carry a large sway over decision making. If manufactures original parts are available I doubt any competent electrician would choose to fit other manufactures parts. However we sometimes have to make a considered judgment over what is best for the customer. Remembering of course a small load domestic circuit probably posses less risk than a heavily loaded commercial circuit. I would be interested to hear off any of our members who have first hand experience of failures in a CU directly due to mixed manufactures parts. Most car manufactures recommend only their original parts are used during servicing and repair work. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
