3 Phase Board Replacement

bbde2234199734238b313b2f5622eca8-huge-img_20210317_171001.jpgHi,


​​I was hoping I could glean some knowledge from you bright sparks.


I have a very old (and should be illegal) Federal Pacific 3 Phase Board that I am updating. It currently has 36 ways (with 2 Triple Pole and 30 Single Pole Breakers) with 3P 100a Disconnector.


There aren't many Boards that can fit that amount of outgoing ways, but I've find Europa Components do one.


Is it a case of switching old SP Breaker for new SP Breaker, and similarly for 3P Breaker.


I've attached a picture to hopefully help with your advice.


Thanks

    That looks like a Federal Electric Stablok board. I agree with everything that Zoomup says and would be interested to have your answers, although I doubt whether another manufacturer's MCB would fit properly. Perhaps it does not?


    The question above seems a bit odd. Bear in mind that you will be swapping, let's say, a type 1 30 A MCB with a B32 one.
