16A Blade type Isolator

[Darkness]

Neighbour nearby has a bore well and it cutout during the night. Lack of air pressure in the pressure tank caused the pump to switch on and off too quickly and the 16a switch below isn't working.

I tried a few local places for a replacement but can't source one and the nearest well pump installers are miles away.

Is this just basically similar to a 16A MCB and really a backup fuse? The main circuit itself is on a 16A MCB. I bypassed the switch and the well works fine with my clamp meter showing a reading of around 11-12A which seems fine.

Is there anywhere online to get a replacement or is there something else I could use?

Thanks

Used on wagons and yellow bricks I would look at farnell or RS.

Isn't Farnell the B2C version of RS?

They are currently offering free delivery, next day, on online orders placed by 20:00. I guess Monday for any placed today?

Thanks for that. Think I found the one at RS which fits the job.
