I've been a bit silly and forgotten to jot down the current rating of the circuit breakers in preparation for a CU change!

I've had a look on line but I'm still not sure!

I'm pretty sure the 2 white ones are 6A.

The red is perhaps 32A? Black 40A? orange??

The last one I can see says 45A.

Cheers in advance.. Lets see if anyone can beat @westward to it 😄

30, 5, 5, 15, 20 and 45 reading from the left.
As above black is blue and orange is yellow.

Same colours as the spots on the old wylex rewirable fuse carriers.

MCB as the Main Switch

Nice 🙃
No… there’s a switch past the mcb.

Here’s one I’ll be working on soon…

Passed or past.
 
I used to just look at the colours and know what size the fuses/cartridge/ mcbs were.
Had to look twice at the green the lighter green was 35A

Thanks everyone. That's saved me a trip back, or a long phone call trying to explain (to the elderly(ish) couple) that I need them to take a photo and Whatsapp it through.

Is that a separate RCD (TT system) to the right?
