Who Is The Sponser That Sells Mcbs Etc ?

[Evans Electric]

I'm after a  Square D  QOE  type    50A  RCBO

Or just a 50A  MCB .

Theres some MCBs on Ebay but not 50A  .

 

[Sharpend]

SBS?

 

[Evans Electric]

Thanks Sharpy ,  Their ad looks like part of the LED one above it ,  I'll give them a try .

Dave at SBS may help but he's not the one your thinking of, i think that company is no longer a sponsor. If you dont have any luck try here   http://www.obsoleteelectricalsupplies.com/PRODUCTS.html

Used here before (for the odd old C50 breaker):

http://www.reconelectrical.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=144_439_440_446

They specialise in old gear, sometimes 2nd user I think.

I may have one.....is it the one with the stupid prongs instead of a din rail mount?

just helping

 

[kerching]

I have some brand new old stock RCBOs.....biggest SqD is a 45A type . 30mA, if it is of any help?

 

[Evans Electric]

Thats the one I need Kerch .  Customer is getting a 10.8KW Mira shower ,   Oh  no  thats pushing it I reckon .  Using 230V  thats 47A .  @ 240V its dead 45A 

And yes its the ones with the stupid prongs.

Have you got a 50 A  MCB  Square D QOE  type B ?    I'll fit a seperate RCD .

 

[kerching]

I'll have another look tomorrow. I have a box of QOEs BUT dont know where they are!

somewhere in the outer spiral arm of number 2 shed.....like a freaking bomb site

 

[Evans Electric]

Kerch I would appreciate that immensely.

Could you , if you don't mind,   post the success or failure of your mission to the outer limits in the morning   please  ( As long as you have time )   I could do with at least  locating one  tomorrow if possible  ?

 

[kerching]

SORRY, not got.

biggest i have is a 32a.........i am sure i have more somewhere but cannot find them

sorry

there isnstill the 45 RCBO......its not THAT far off 50A!

 

[Evans Electric]

Thanks for looking Kerch .   I cadged a 45A  MCB  from a sparks at the wholesalers .   I've noticed that most showers don't pull the calculated current in reality so it should hold .      They'll have to have a board change otherwise.

According to Schneider, there is no such beast as a 50A RCBO, only b or c curve mcb's, there is a 45A rcbo and this is still current product.

However, I'm guessing you are sorted now!

 

[kerching]

I am the proud/smug owner of some 45 A C curve RCBOs Brand anew but OLD stock.   Kept them in stock for one customer who has now upgraded their boards

have you seen the price of the little flippers on ebay?

flip me. They are flipping expensive

 

[Sharpend]

I wouldn't mind betting there cheaper to deke!!

 

[Evans Electric]

Looks like I'm sorted now, sticking with the 45A MCB  .   Showers restricted to 2.5 hours duration .   

Hang on to those flippers Kerch ............one day , Rodders, we'll be millionairs.
