![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | We have two consumer units that use Crabtree Starbreaker MCBs These have one screw terminal and a blade. I'm struggling to find a replacement for one, as most MCBs seem to have two screw terminals. Can someone in the know tell me if this is what I need: Thanks

175 forum posts 3 photos | Neil , I just upgraded to all RCBO apart from submains so I have loads of MCB,s spare. If I have the correct amperage rating you,re welcome to them. Just PM me. Nathan. Edit. Should have said they are all Crabtree Starbreaker. Edited By Nathan Sharpe on 02/12/2014 23:04:27 Edit. Should also say that my RCBO,s and bigger consumer unit came from TLC so can recommend them. Edited By Nathan Sharpe on 02/12/2014 23:06:47 |

![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | Thanks Nick, Your link confirms the part code 61/B20 - so hopefully I did order the right bit from CPC! Nathan, thanks for the offer - I went and ordered last night, but if it is the wrong one that arrives I'll let you know - save a 20Amp one for me just in case! Thanks again,

45 forum posts | You appear to be replacing a type C with a type B? What are you supplying? Type C is suitable for motor drives. |
