Circuit Breaker Query

[SUNRAY]

I'm not familiar with them

I saw that they were old-type yet were type A and they looked off appearance wise

Happy to be corrected appears I was mistaken

I've dealt with a number of their MCB's but not RCBO's, they look just the same apart from the extension for the RCD part.

I think I must have suddenly become even older than usual, since I am more than a little confused by all this ......

Hmm something looks a bit off with those rcbos

Which RCBOs?

Then again seller looks to be genuine so I'm likely mistaken

Which 'seller'? Do you perhaps mean the manufacturer/brand (SquareD)?

II've purchased from him several times and everything has been spot on apart from sending a wrong version and he sent the correct one straightaway and return label.

Again, what seller are we talking about?

... I saw that they were old-type yet were type A and they looked off appearance wise

Where does that "Type A" come from?

Yes the square D rcbos in the ebay link

They're type A according to the legend unless I'm mistaken

 

[mikehammer69]

It appears I was mistaken as the seller is reputable

Ah - I hadn't even noticed, let alone looked at, the "eBay link" so that explains my confusions ! The are, indeed, RCBOs

They're type A according to the legend unless I'm mistaken

Yes, although that symbol is a little different from the one used these days (in which the upper 'sine wave' is about the same width as the waveform below it), I presume that indicates Type A.

Those BS 4293 devices must be very old - I think that Standard was effectively replaced by BS EN 61008 (for RCCBs) and BS EN 61009 (for RCBOs) over 30 years ago (1995 rings a vague bell) - so I'm a little surprised that they were Type A that long ago -although very many countries did move away from Type AC ones a long time ago.

It appears I was mistaken as the seller is reputable

Indeed. SquareD is, and has been for over a century, I think, an extremely reputable manufacturer.
