Important Notice - Electrium Product Recall

It has come to our attention that a very small number of Electrium Miniature Circuit Breakers, sold under the brand names Wylex, Crabtree (Loadstar Only), and Volex, are not performing to the required characteristics. This can lead to a potential rick of burning in a small number of installations.

The affected MCBs were supplied from April 2009 to February 2010 and are listed in the following table.

All other devices, or those sold outside these dates are unaffected.

MCB Rating Wylex Part No Crabtree Part No Volex Part No
6 Amp NSB06 6M1B06 VB06
10 Amp NSB10 6M1B10 VB10
16 Amp NSB16 6M1B16 VB16

Electrium have put in place a free retrofit of replacement parts in affected premises.

If you have purchased or installed any of the products listed above between the dates shown, please visit Electrium's dedicated product recall web page, or call 0844 556 4787 for assistance.
