Bs 60898

[Cazmac1]

Hi guys, sorry for asking a dumb --- question but I just started to test new builds after a 7 year absent. I always known Circuit Breakers in a domestic CCU as BS60898. But some one looking at my paper work today said that I was using the wrong number. I passed my 17th about a year ago a don't recall there being any change. Can some one clear this up for me?.
regards
:smilewinkgrin:

How old was the board you were testing?

There are different BS numbers for OCPDa which should be visible on them, that's what should be recorded on a cert not just a generic number you think is correct. The reason being the max Zs values vary between them.

Read the bs number written on the circuit breaker and then write it in the box on the certificate.

Current domestic MCBs should be BS EN 60898.
Industrial MCCBs BS EN 60947-2
However if they are RCBOs then they are BS EN 61009.

That's what I thought, I'll ignore all the ---- posts on here. why do I need to look at a number when I all ready know it. My post was simply asking had there been a recent update to the regs changing these breaker as all my books still say that the 60898 is valid.

Not looking at the info on the ocpd's will bite you in the backside. Did you assume the KA ratings and current ratings also.

How do you know you have put the correct info if you haven't actually looked at the device itself?

Are you saying that when I test I actually have to look at things and not just make it all up

So you carry out verification by assumption mmmm!! so what other assumptions do you make when filling in the cert

You are obviously making observations of yourself with the comment you have made as someone with "real experience" would not have needed to start this thread so who is the real sado
