What like one of these?

 

[vinieco]

That looks exactly like what i'm after. Assuming it has 2 poles horizontally.

How much would it cost?

Thanks

Is this what you mean?

 

[vinieco]

yep , that's it.

They were obsolete years ago and now as rare as rocking horse poo. Dillb, start your auction at £50.....;0) Seriously vinieco, what do you want it for. My guess is that you've upgraded your shower and the 30amp mcb keeps tripping?

I looked online and sold it at a reasonable price. Dont want to rip folk off. Just happy to help a fellow spark.

Unless I'm very much mistaken then vinieco is not a 'fellow sparky' I'll apologise if I'm wrong.

I have a retail shop I run my sparkyness from and regulaly have DIYers in asking for 40/45/50 amp MCB's just like the 30 or 32amp version they bring in. Most of the time they have bought a 10.5KW shower from B&Q to replace their 7.5KW and then wonder why the MCB keeps blowing. The answer-uprate the MCB without a thought about the poor old 6mm cable in the wall. My answer is usually to ask them if they intended to install a heater in the wall and loft.......

Tonkatoy27 - no need to apologise, you are right I'm not a spark. Have to say though in my defence, I didn't claim to be. Didn't intend to rip anyone off and I did say to Dillb it wasn't a business thing. Apologies if he thinks I tried to trick him, I hope not.
It's to replace the breaker that's already in as it overheats and trips all the time. As I say i'm no spark and there might be something other than this as the problem but i figured i'd try it first. Someone mentioned you could get them on E Bay but that was a blank then i spent ages Googling it and fell into here.
Again, to Dillb, seriously didn't seek to trick you and much appreciate your help. Looked on your profile and see your a disgruntled public sector worker. If it's a consolation, so am I. Good luck to you mate, you're a top bloke!!
