Can you post a photo?
Merlin Gerin now comes under the branding of "Schneider Electric"
Is it a main switch or an RCCB (an RCCB has a test button on it)?
Maybe just a coincidence with MG codes, CGD (Control Gear Direct) is another manufacturer but their quality is nowhere near the same as MG.

that's a very cheap brand, and not Merlin Gerin

tell us more about the burning

do any of your friends or neighbours know a good electrician?

are you far from the nearest fire station?

I have to agree with JohnD, CGD are very budget. If it is a Merlin Gerin consumer unit then it is a good idea to fit Merlin Gerin products as they are fully type tested, but unfortunately being a good brand bumps up the price a bit!

all the mcbs have got that cgd title and brand stamp on it....

friend could have fitted other one which mcbwas bigger in height but would mean cutting the prongs it slips into and he said if you are slightly short ... no electric...

have another go at some photos please
