Hager do them but only up to 30A, Memshield 2 did them up to 45A but the 40 and 45A carriers took up two ways in the board.

Very much doubt you will find one up to 63A as even the old Memshield 2 45A took up two ways. Schneider do them in one, two and three poles but only up to 32A.Do you know if anyone does them at 63A for a TPN DB?
Just looking at these do they actually fit into a dist board.The issue I think is having them the width for the busbars, etc. For single slot MCB sizes I have only ever seen 32A.
Here is an example larger one with indicators:

More the sort of size I have used recently:

I was wondering, are BS88 fuse boards still used on some new installations especially industrial and even commercial. And if so would that be ok with the regulations or not because its not retrospective. I know they are quite outdated and its hard to find a electrical wholesaler selling BS88 fuse boards. BS88 fuse breaking capacity tends to be a lot higher than MCB's, if I'm right, hence why they might be preferred on say a industrial environment like a chemical or nuclear power plant.
Also much lower fault let-through energy so other stuff tends to survive.BS88 fuses are still used extensively in most of our motor control centers. Easier to change a fuse than a faulty MCCB!
