Hi M107 Thanks for the link, I'm not too good at this web lark. I cant see any BS numbers for MCB's etc. Any chance you could you post up a link or two that show the numbers to give me a start. Sorry to be dim .The penny seems to have dropped with everyone else regards dnjr

Ok this is my last on this one. dnjr unless your a first week student you should know what the BS (EN) designation of an mcb is, don't mean to sound harsh & I same as others on here dont mind giving anybody a helping hand,that said any individual wanting info or help does need to put some effort in themselves such as; Get hold of manufacturers catalouges they have all the info you need. Look for the print or moulded markings on old or new mcbs (not always visible granted) & take a photo if your so inclined. The following link is a start for you (no it's not my site) http://www.khace.com/electrical/links/index.html I'm not a grumpy old git honest, but I have listed the BS(EN) numbers in a previous post & given a link for pictures all you had to do was marry the two together.
Hi M107 Thanks for your trouble. Not a first week student but have come across a couple of very strange breakers in the past couple of weeks and wasted loads of time trying to confirm the BS numbers. ( manufacturers catalouges were no help,and no numbers printed on them ) Posting here was my last shot after digging around on the web myself but as I hinted at before navigating around the web is not very high on my list of talents. Thats why I struggled a bit on the link you gave earlier Will know better next time dnjr
Oh sorry didn't want to offend & dont be put off asking questions here, but others do sometimes post wanting everything on a plate without doing any work themselves. What make was the board, can you post any sort of pic's ? Again never wanted to offend sorry if it came across or was taken that way.
No offence taken I was just trying to explain that I had put in quite a bit of leg work before asking. The trouble was it was a board I had never seen before ( no brand name on it) I even took the breaker to the wholesaler and they could not identify it. In the end I just put it down as a 60898 , it was just not wanting to get caught out again that I was after a list with pictures. I appreciate your taking the time to help and will keep posting. regards dnjr
