Retrofit Mcb

[ronnieboy]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a General Electric Type B 20a (serial no:639003) mini breaker from? I've found some second hand on ebay but I would prefer a new one.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Have a look here. If they don't have them, no one does!

Denmans used (uses) GE MCBs but branded as their Steeple range.
They are available, new.

They were also known as Vynckier and are identical.

I spy an eBay seller has 20A GE ones, new.
Did you not see this?

Reading this, and remembering all the similar topics there have been in the past, I thought "a cross-reference chart of compatibility of differently branded MCBs would be Jolly Useful".

Couldn't imagine I was the first person to think that, so I did a quick search.

And no - of course I'm not.

Haven't found a chart.

Did find an alternative supplier to the usual suspect though.

This is the model I need, it's for a AEG 3.5Kw single oven, the manufacturers call for a minimum of 15a and a maximum 20a, I have a 30a in there at the moment.

Oh, a mini trip.

You'll be very very lucky to get a new one of those.

Have you tried Sothebys?

Is it definitely a ge fuse board or is it a wylex board with GE breakers in?

Write and ask them why they have made an appliance which is so poorly designed and/or constructed that it needs to rely on the circuit protective device, which is not there to protect appliances, in order to be safe.

Are the plug-in Wylex breakers a match?

Sorry, I should have mentioned it's a Wylex board with GE breakers

 

[RF Lighting]

Just get a wylex plug in breaker. They're available everywhere.

I think they are.

Im sure B and Q do a version the same, may even be branded GE
