Siemens circuit breaker

[r.bartlett]

I have to swap out a 0.5a to a 1a Siemens c/b. Can anyone point me to who sells them?

Thanks

Richard

Some of the siemens stuff was similar to the original MK, Rexel Senate used to sell it. They are very small sizes for an mcb, have only seen merlin gerin ones as small as that?

Went for a Merlin G one instead

thanks for the assistance

0.5A MCB??

yeah? what's your point?

they do them..

and FYI tyhe company I used to work for got their siemens breakers from Edmunsons..

0.5A MCB??

Yep - they do go down as far as that I think. I have some 1A and 2A Merlin Gerin ones kicking about somewhere.

Tried them but none in stock. smallest was a 6a. went to Refina in Cheltenham and they had MG's of 1 and 2's so went the whole hog and fitted a 2a !

Aren't they often adjustable down at that end of the spectrum?

Other end of the spectrum you thinking of ban? I've never seen an adjustable MCB....MCCBs, yes, there is often an adjustment to set it to 1, 0.8, 0.6 etc of the nameplate current, some have adjustment for the current threshold that triggers the magnetic part as well, but not never seen an MCB that was adjustable

According to their price list Siemens go down to 300mA.

I might be thinking of motor overload ones....

the do do low end adjustable ones, but the one's I've seen are 3 phase ones.. and are generally used in control panels for motors as you say..
