Faulty MCB?
 Reply with quote Thanks
An MCB controlling a lighting circuit opened today but will not manually reset (even with the mains power isolated). Does this mean that the MCB itself is most likely to be faulty? Sure appreciate any advice so we can get our dinner cooked without candlelight - romantic but impractical! icon_sad.gif
