Can you get a C Type breaker that will fit a board like this, I've asked in a couple of Wholesalers but they don't think so.
I just thought I'd ask here before I say it needs a board change. |

"Can you get a C Type breaker that will fit a board like this, I've asked in a couple of Wholesalers but they don't think so.
I just thought I'd ask here before I say it needs a board change." Will the use of a Type C circuit-breaker satisfy 411.3.2.1? Most CU changes are sold on the basis of RCD protection

Can you get a C Type breaker that will fit a board like this. Simple answer without questioning your motive or need, is that Wylex catalogue only shows B Type. |

As the intended MCB would be a 32a Type C using table 41.3 the max earth fault loop impedance is 0.72ohms X rule of thumb = 0.54ohms.
The measured Zs is 0.28ohms so it will be OK There is also an RCD already in the circuit |

"The motive is inductive load"
Is a 32 A Type C circuit-breaker more "tolerant" than a 30 A BS 3036 to "inrush"? Regards BOD |

Perhaps my thread title was misleading.
Someone had already changed the 3036's to Type B MCB's now they trip when the inductive load is connected hence the thinking to go Type C I know that it could be reverted to 3036 or even to 1362 but the guy wanted MCB's. I suspect the answer is fuses or a new CU but I was just exploring possibilities. |
