I am replacing my old wired houeshold fuses with mcb's.
I have four fuses, 1x5 amp, 1x20 amp, and twox30 amp.
I have replaced the 5 amp with a 6amp mcb, and the 30amps
with 32amp. I am having trouble finding a 20amp replacement.
Can I use a 16amp or 32amp for this purpose.

Wylex DO make a yellow 20 mcb
Try one of the national wholesalers, if it not on the shelf it can be ordered.
If you are going to fit a different rating mcb, always go down in size(16a)
