Hi there

Just completed the electrics for a heat pump install in a large office block, just trying to complete th paper work, but have a problem.

When checking the Main Isolator type it is a Merlin Gerin Selpact 400A Air circuit breaker, it has no bs number.

Anyone got an idea what BS number to put down for these ?

Russell

 
BS88 is cartrige fuses so not likely to be that, have a look in back of regs book you may find it there or ring merlin gerin tech line they would be able to tell you.

Batty

 
Why not email Merlin Gerin or do as I would, if you can't see the BS No. you can't write it down.

If anyone has a great need to know what it is then let them worry about it!!

Life is too short for some of the carp that comes our way !!

Your right Deke, but I know our NICEIC inspector will pick this one out, and he is a stickler

 
I know what you mean Russell , specially with the sticklebacks, but my thinking is this, its a talking point for your stickler for a start, just because you put nothing down , you still know what you are doing by seeking it out , no number, not your fault,not your problem.

As I said , pass it down the line , let some desk bound, paper shuffler with ****** all else to do with his time , sort it out .

Slow down kme's back your not allowed to have that many beers he'll be cross.

 
Air circuit breaker is another name for MCB.

The older ones were BS3871. Used to be type 1,2 and 3, instead of B,C and D.

Got some technical data from Merlin Gerin and they list it as conforming to IEC 157-1

 
Hi Spin think you are right with your spec for them, the one I have is a big 400A beast, so think it may fall under a different standard
