Guillotine Fuse Issue

[Leecapri83]

Hi All
I bought a second hand guillotine a few months ago and on two occasions it dropped a phase. I traced the issue to these very ancient and poorly repaired bottle fuse holder caps.
I have an order for some replacements coming from Slovenia and Poland as I can't find them elsewhere, I'm not optimistic though.
I have managed to find a part number of KND01 or KND02 which I believe maybe the same ones.
If this all fails does anybody know anyone in the uk that would stock something like this? outside all the usual outlets (R.S, Farnell etc..) Perhaps more importantly what is the modern equivalent that I could replace them with long term.
I believe the fuses are 4amp.
Any suggestions appreciated.

CEF sell them but you would need to check the dimensions. Bottle fuse

Why not wire in a modern breaker ?

as above, remove and fit an mcb instead - I've done that on loads of old stuff

check the fuse to see if it's a slow blow etc. so you can get an mcb to match

Thankyou for the replies
@carbon It is actually the fuse holding cap that I require. I enquired with CEF yesterday and despite them initially being helpful i turned up with the part and was met with 'I don't know where to start with that....try ebay'
@Erie Fred yes that is what i was asking for, what would be a modern equivalent of this set up.
@knighty thanks at least i know what to look for, so that would be a mcb rated to 4amps? unfortunately there is no text on the fuses - is there somewhere else I could find out if it was a slow blow?

 

[knighty]

msbs are rated A, B, C, D

d is the equivalent of 'slow blow' (sort of, it's not exact)

hire rate is for things with large inrush current at start up, like motors

what is powered through the fuse?

larger zoomed out pic of the control panel?

Hi
@knighty parts ordered i'm going for a 4amp breaker D type. I spoke to an electrician onsite this morning and he agreed with your suggestion (i did ask this chap before xmas when the problem originally arose and he was less than helpful, thanks to your input i was able to ask more pointed questions this time)
Thanks again!
