It's the RCCB incomer that needs replacing a 63A 30ma should be okay.

Well, the only mandatory rating is 30mA (0.03A).

With the stated MCBs you would require a 63A,30mA one - 80A,30mA or 100A,30mA will be alright.

HOWEVER, with the very small supply conductors, I would advise you ask someone knowledgeable to inspect the installation.


What happened to it?

Because half the casing has been smashed off of it, perhaps.

It's the RCCB that is damage and the OP has linked us to photos.

That would worry me too. The supply conductors look the same size as ones for the lighting circuit into that B6 MCB.

No - what the OP has done is to fail to be rsed to put photos in his posts properly.

Are you saying my statement is false?
That fact is others could not be A.R.S.E.D clicking on the link!
I don't see it as much different to linking to information elsewhere, rather than copying and pasting that information to the post.

This forum provides a way to have inline images.

Either you can be rsed to use that facility, or you can't.
