Doepke Busbar

[Electron]

I was unable to add a new MCB (tried CED and MK) to a Doepke consumer unit because their busbar seems to be a unique shape. photo attached. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, what solution worked.

Did any body tell you that you can not mix any other mcb to a board other then the correct manufacturers mcb .

After considering that correct above post.If someone were to trim the plastic from the sides of the terminal fixing screw a lot of mcbs could be made to clamp that busbar

The solution is to fit the correct mcb.

I wouldn't usually consider using an MCB which differs from the board but I can't buy a new Doepke MCB. Only second hand ones are available.

most MCBs come with the facility to fit that busbar. some you need to snip out a bitofplastic. or change the busbar to a standard "comb" type.

Why can't you get a Doepke MCB?
