Morning all,

While I was visiting my colleague she mentioned that her upstairs lights
didn't work, so I had a quick look. She has what seemed to me like the
old rewireable fuses. But when I pulled one out (and it fell apart),
it turned out to be something different.

The fuse modules have a normal cycilndrical fuse inside them, and the poles
are not in-line like on the rewireable modules I know:

--------------------
| |
| ### ----- ### |
| |
--------------------

But more like this, where a cylindrical fuse sits between the 2 poles:

--------------------
| # # |
| # # |
| # # |
--------------------

Has anyone seen this before and know if replacement fuse module or plug-in MCB
is available?
Sorry, I failed to take note of the brand of the CU (which would have made
this a bit easier!)

Gerd.

Sounds like an HRC fuse.

Available from any electrical wholesaler.

The fuse yes, but the module it sits in is what is broken.
The first wholesaler I went to had never seen a module like it before.
Anyway, hope to know the brand later today.

Ah, I found it. It's a MEMERA 3 module. Not that easy to get but
available online. Can't see any MCB replacements, so will probably have to
go with the original (£10!) part.
