[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 57409, member: 1408"] Actually this is one of my Grumpy old men gripes . If you look at the early MCBs they are all vastly different designs, nothing like each other, but when the modern style appeared the IEE or somebody should have insisted that the BS applied to them also made them interchangable. They went halfway by making them all dinrail mounted but the bottom terminals are different so they don't fit the live rail. Pain in the buttress.!! With the odd differences as with C/tree Starbtreaker would be a different BS number. How much time is wasted by the industry in locating a rogue MCB. Each maker would still make their profit with their brand name on the MCB. [/QUOTE]
