When you say switch at CU I'd hope you mean a fuse switch or MCB- mini circuit breaker.

I now know that my switch is your MCB!!!

MK

See the marks- B3, B6, B10, B16 etc It means 3, 6, 10 etc amp rated

Wylex

Again B6, B16, B10, B20, B32, B40 so 6, 16, 10 amp etc

Contactium

Hager

So what would you say is the Hager rating


NB- The ones you posted are C type and are NOT really designed for domestic use. They handle a high in rush current without trip, sometimes used for some lighting type in homes, but more often for industrial used such as electric motors.

Unless you have an unusual set up in doors the MCB's should all be B type.

So what would you say is the Hager rating

Is it 132?

I deal with graphics and do video editing, if there is anything that I can do to help you guys out please let me know!

Don't keep us in suspense! Tell us! What does yours say for your circuit to the basement?

B20? B32?

 

[steve101]

I'll let you know at about 7.30pm tonight once I get home!

I wouldn't be too pleased - you now need to swap it for a 20 A

or, as you mentioned earlier, run a second 2.5mm cable back to the CU
to turn it into a ring final.
