Mem 321 Qeb Replacement

[sprinta]

Hi

I have a 32A MEM 321 QEB circuit breaker that I need to replace. Is there a direct replacement for the unit as they no longer seem to be available?

Probably no direct replacement? MEM have changed their bus bar configuration a couple of times since. Try eBay for a second hand one?

Plenty on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060778.m570.l1313&_nkw=MEM+321+QEB&_sacat=0

They look like the old Wylex NB type, haver you tried to see of one of those will fit?

Isn't there a (dare I say it) proteous retro fit 3871 breaker?

Im thinking i would risk a second hand mem one from eBay. I am forced to use proteus and for ever taking faulty ones back.

Yes but buying Proteous means going into CEF?

Proteus.....from the Greek noun "Prot" meaning shite. And "eus" meaning total bag of

Or robbing a BG sparkeys van

What's wrong with CEF? As long as you have your gold card ready and you can remember the secret handshake you'll be fine

You can engineer any breaker to fit these days.

I know a change of tack, yes.

However, to do this you must comply with the new version of BS 6423 & undertake the design & testing requirements therein, and you'll be fine!
