I've got a new-ish (made 2001) GE CU (it was a wrong item in a delivery

Are MCBs' a standard fitment, so I can just use whatever is available or
do they vary from makers to maker.?


I think you may find that some wholesalers' "own brand" MCBs are
actually GE ones. Try Denmans for a start.

In general I've found that MCBs can be mixed but you may find that the
busbar(s) need a bit of a bodge.

I cannot remember which is which, but I believe that Hagar MCBs fit the GE
units or Wikes own brand (possibly rebranded GET).

Well it sounds like some others at least will fit, which is what I
really wanted to know. I've since remembered that I have a spare unused
MCB in the greenhouse CU. Maybe MK, but I can't remember. I'll start by
getting that out and trying it over the weekend.
