How do you remove this breaker?

[fizzy]

Can't see any catches or clips. It pushes up a bit but don't want to force it.
Give me good old fashioned cartridge fuses any day!

Pop a screwdriver in that little tab you can see underneath and lever it down.

 

[RWD3M]

If you look closely at the bottom at the back, you can see a little slot that needs a flat bladed screwdriver puttnig in it and prising down. That will release the spring loaded catch allowing you to pull the MCB, RCD etc out from the bottom.

Obviously, unless you wish to be nominated for a Darwin award, switch off the power first!

Great minds!

 

[knighty]

no experience of that specific one, but a lot of din raill stuff has spring loaded clips

so push it up then pull the top edge out first

or push it down then pull the bottom edge out first


EDIT: is that clip at the bottom not for the next one over?

 

[brightspark]

if your on about the rcd take the neutral out from underneath and you will have to slacken the righthand buzbar off and remove it in order to unclip it from the din rail .even if its the mcb thats turned off still need to remove the copper busbar

Why is the tab live?

Why is the tab live?

Looks plastic to me, however I see some bare energized stuff nearby.

I can’t see electricity in the picture so I don’t know if it’s energised. The fact he’s already tried to remove it suggests to me it might not be, but the advice was about removing the breaker not a course in electrical safety.

Oh....I see.

[minimutly]

Well yes, pull the tab and lift out - once you've removed the copper busbar first...

 

[fizzy]

Yes the busbar is seriously in the way. Stupid flipping design.
Luckily I am working well away from the live inlet.

you need to kill main powder at incoming fuses before touching the buzz bars

 

[Mikes]

If you get electrocuted, can I have your lathes?

dont forget to wrap your tools with insulation tape and stand on a pallet if the grounds wet oh and cover the live terminals with a black dustbin bag
