Hi guys,
just wondering if I can pick someone's brains on something I have not needed to do yet so need some pointers.
Looking at a job where there are some wylex nsb breakers 6 and 16 type b in a split load board with main switch and 1 X RCD. Did not pull them out when looking at the job to note numbers as light was going and could not see, so plan on taking some new breakers along in case they need changing, then notify wylex. I don't think they will be part of the recall, as the customer moved in to the property in 2008 and the board was there already and they have not had any work done to the property until now, and the recall is for breakers between 2009-2010 but am taking some just to make sure. Got some wylex nhxb6 and nhxb16 breakers to replace them but looking at them and a old nsb I found, the clamp for the busbar don't seem to line up? The busbar in the consumer unit is a normal type wylex provide with the long piece that goes in the clamp of the bottom of each of the mcb's so I am unsure as to weather the new mcb's will fit along with the old nsb ones that can stay, I.e 32a. Am I missing something or am I needing to get a breaker that needs to be more inline with the nsb type breakers? Or maybe change the busbar.
Would appreciate it if someone can give me any pointers, as this is something i have not come up against before as my work is new stuff usually and not with wylex equipment.
Thanks
