[QUOTE="UNG, post: 548969, member: 8931"] How do you assess the mechanical attributes and internal design of an MCB to decide they are mechanically matched. While an MCB may look identical the most important thing to consider is the heat dissipation and possible thermal effects of mixed and matched MCB's and RCBO's, I've seen a few welded together over the years Would that be the installation with at best 6 one gang sockets in the whole property and very little to plug into them so minimal load and the green cable you speak of was missing on some circuits of that era Also back then I think people had a lot more respect for electricity than they do now [/QUOTE]
