faulty Crabtree MCB

[Hawk]

Anyone ever came across one of these MCB's not resetting?

Polestar?
Had loads of mcb's of all makes over the years which wont reset due to the internal mechanism being kaput....often seems to be on older breakers which have tripped on a fault.

Yeah polestar. I tested the circuit and found no faults! Connected into another lighting circuit, temporarily and it works fine. I will get a replacement tomorrow hopefully. Would CEF stock them?

I suppose they will order one in for you very much doubt they will have them in stock and your looking at about £1,000000 give or take a pound or two with CEF! I would ring around or have a look on line with fleeeeeebay etc !

That's true Tony! I was looking online, Newey & Eyre have them around 25quid.

Ended up getting one from CEF. It was £11 + vat. Not too bad.
