Dear All Does anyone know of an illustrated list that has all or the most common fuses, mcb's and rcd's and their BS numbers or a site that shows them thanks for your help. dnjr
Perhaps someone with all the knowledge here could generate such a list? And be kind enough to share such 'knowledge' Yours eternally grateful.. Extension15
Don't know but heres a start (no pic's sorry) I'm sure others will add / correct it & maybe post pics.....who knows. Main switch (new)BS EN 60947-3 (old) BS 5419 Rewireable fuse BS 3036 RCBO BS EN 61009 RCD (new)BS EN 61008 (old) BS 4293 SRCD BS 7288 MCB BS EN 60898 (types B,C,D) MCB BS 3871 (types 1,2,3) Fuse BS 1361 (type 1 & 2) Fuse BS 88 Fuse BS 1362 (plug top)
yes it would be truly wonderful, to have pics and codes but hey! i shouldn't worry .if you are stuck for the BS EN number just take your best guess No other ****** has a clue ,and nobody cares ,what you enter
Where has the swearing thingy gone? Is it a ploy by Screwfix ,perhaps it is working ,as i am now most embarressed by my sweary word in view.
Wonder why admin has dropped the swear filter (I ask again)? Still anything goes on TV after 9pm or sometimes before. As long as it's used in a reasonable context who gives a **. [Edited by: admin5]
sorry i dont have the time Nor do I. So try The Electrician's Guide to The Building Regulations. Appendix B. Pages 149 to 160. Marj.
It shouldn't matter of course but it is a well known fact that the Scottish MCBs for instance, are slightly quicker than the English/Welsh types
