MK 6 AMP TYPE 2 M6 MCB CIRCUIT BREAKER 240V LN 5906 BS 3871

Product Information

When purchasing a consumer unit or distribution board, the manufacturer’s instructions will state which devices can be used in the unit – and don’t forget according to BS 7671 (regulation 510.3) there is an obligation on designers and installers to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when selecting and erecting equipment. Knowing the right type of device to install is essential to protect equipment in all types of buildings, as is reflected in the evolving guidance. is a nice number for rules of thumb , 1.6mm is nearly 1/16 of an inch and almost exactly the diameter of 16 standard wire gauge and 16 Birmingham sheet metal gauge, though not american wire, but AWG 14 is ~ 1.6mm dia. ) Cor 40 O C , lhe purpose of the latter value being to avoid the necessity of de-rating thermaiiy sensitive circuit-

Originally there would have been a graph like we still get for a fuse and I would not think they would comply with BS7671:2008 and will need replacing to comply. Not sure what I would code it as? I think Code 2 "(Requires improvement) This code is to be used to indicate that the observed deficiency requires action to remove potential danger. Make a graph of the difference between A and W, and you will find out that it is a sine wave with low amplitude. In fact, it is a law of mathematics that the sum or difference of two sine waves of the same frequency (but possibly different amplitudes or phases) is another sine wave of the same frequency, again with different frequency or phase. K~ 145 for rubbers and 115 for PVC insulation , with certain assumptions about starting temperature. If devices from different manufacturers are used together, the venting characteristics may not be coordinated which could result in significant further damage to adjacent devices or other parts of the distribution board. At time zero, phase A is zero, but phase W is negative, say by a couple of volts. Then at time 1/240 phase A is at its positive peak, but phase W is slightly below. A teensy bit later, phase A is on its way down, and phase W hits its peak. And so on through the cycle. Both phases have the same amplitude, but hit their peaks at different times. There is usually a slightly different voltage between the two, but since sometimes A is more positive and sometimes W is more positive, the two graphs _must_ cross.

In other words, adding together CE marked products from one manufacturer with another’s CE marked products does not necessarily equal a CE marked assembly which is compliant with BS EN 61439. This may also be true when mixing product ranges from the same manufacturer. This is reinforced in Note 1 of regulation 536.4.203 which states that ‘ The use of individual components complying with their respective product standards does not indicate their compatibility when installed with other components in a low voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly.’ On a slightly more benign note, circuit-breakers are designed to run warm in normal conditions when carrying load current. The thermal performance of the assembly is considered in BS EN 61439 to ensure that the internal temperature is not excessive and the operation of protective devices is not impaired – when excessively warm for example, the thermal overload operating current of a device will reduce, potentially causing premature operation. Excessive temperatures may affect the control circuits of electronic equipment mounted in the enclosure. The values of earth loop impedance shown in these tables must compensate for conductor temperature rise, if the measurement of loop impedance is taken at ambient temperature. A useful rule of thumb is to allow for a temperature rise from 20 degrees to 70 degrees by multiplying the listed value by 0.8. The measured value can then be compared to the compensated value.

My only hope is now if someone has any brochures stored somewhere with let through tables/graphs. Otherwise I will be replacing them If you are looking for a reason to scrap the existing, then absence of that data is as good a reason as anyEvery item of equipment shall comply with the appropriate British or Harmonized Standard.’ For distribution boards, this is the BS EN 61439 series. Part 3 is a specific part of the BS EN 61439 suite and it includes requirements for Distribution Boards intended for use by ‘ordinary persons’.
