Mcb to replace wired fuse?

[teddyman5]

I have a Wylex fuse box with wired fuses. Sometimes when a bulb blows the 5A fuse blows as well. No problem for me to rewire it but
I would like to swap the wired fuse for an mcb if possible to make it easier for my family if I'm not around.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks a lot.

I believe b n q sell them, they push into the same blade holder in the fuse board that the fuse cartridge pushes into.

But you need to either get the new cover, so that the terminals are well hidden from fingers, or cut the face out of your existing one!
