Why's that then Keniff? althouh proteus are crappy if I needed a breaker for a board I would always try to add the proper make, and as they are very easy to get hold of you have now Given me a headache wondering haha

Hi.

Just a quick scan on eBay and there are hundreds of proteus mcb's, all sizes.
There easy to get.

I've swapped a few for control gear, better to rip the lot out and replace them with something half quality in my opinion. Changed a 16amp yesterday that had tripped and killed it's internals

You should be fitting proteus back in, there only a few quid...

You could void any warranty by fitting non manufacturers parts (despite the BS number being the same) - check instructions etc. I agree, I'd be ripping the Proteus board out, although just looking at it will probably cause it to fall apart. Best place for a Proteus board is the bin

I don't like this myself, as bad as proteus are, mixing MCB makes in a board unless theres no other choice is a bodge it and leg it Job IMHO, there you are though just my view.

also, if the CEF prices are too high it doesn't do any harm to haggle. I also don't have an account with them but got a few Click Mode sockets and stuff from them last week. Bill came to £60 something. I laughed and said it was twice what I expected to pay and the guy went out the back and came back with £46. Still at least 20% more than I expected but cheaper to buy at that price than waste time going somewhere else...........

Mcb's shouldn't really be mixed in my opinion they are made to fit particular con unit, if anything was to happen you wouldn't have a leg to stand on
