After advice in another thread on here, I'm considering upgrading the MCB covering the circuit for my welding machine from a 16a type B to a 16a type C.
Current brand is BG, are there any other brands which are compatible with BG distribution panels or should I stick with BG?
I've had a look on C.E.F and there are several with different ratings, some 10ka and others at 16ka; could someone explain the difference and what these ratings mean, and advice me on which MCB is likely to be the most suitable?
The BG ones on Screwfix don't seem to show the ka rating; I tried to pick this one up today, but it was out of stock.
