Federal electric MCB

Never seen a Federal board before, but i need a 40A MCB HCA series to fit a 3 phase dist board (small unit) or equivalent if anyone knows of a nother make that fits???

Is it the "Stablock" type?

I'll see if I can find a photo later, if it is forget it!

Federal kit is like the proverbial rocking horse stuff.

are we talking single phase? I can find a 32A and a 50A in the HCA but not a 40A on ebay, did they definitely do one?

Just had a look , only got a HBA

B50

Not sure if this will fit

Single phase

Only Federal fits Federal Blinky , is it SP or TP . I have a few kicking about .

They're as rare as Steptoe buying a round TBH .

10mm cable so could use 50A thanks wozz

We're also looking for a 2 x 32a F.E. Breakers....... Trying to convince the owner to put in another board

Have you tried our sponsor?

(I will look into the attachment issue)

Test post. (attachment).

Ok, so the attachments works when you attach them inline, but not as a list/link.

I will look into it.

It appears to be a long running issue with various versions of the forum.

I will discuss it with our techical team.

I do appologise in the meantime.

The attachments do work if you select them as inline. I have downloaded the "screen recording" thing and I am going to start a dedicated "talk.electricianforum.co.uk channel" on youtube. I will record how to do certain things on the forum, in video fomat, and I will then post them on our youtube channel.

I think that is a great idea and will save a lot of time and posts, trying to explain.

Sorry for hyjacking the thread.

Tried the forum sponsor, but they don't appear to have what we need.

There was a major safety scare re Federal Electric breakers a few years ago. Found this link RECALL - FEDERAL PACIFIC BREAKER

Quote from the second page,

'We recommend that residential FPE Stab-Lok electrical panels be replaced entirely or the entire panel bus assembly be replaced entirely, regardless of model number or year of manufacture. We recommend against replacing individual FPE Stab-lok circuit breakers. We do not sell circuit breakers nor any other products'

Slips,

I knew of this, but I thought it was only the US versions?

Mind replace the board is the best recommendation as far as I am concerned.

Thanks!!!

Been trying to convince the owner to replace.... Now got a bit of leverage to persuade him!
