Hi there..

I'm righting this thread hoping that anybody can help regarding a specific issue.

I'm looking for English electric circuit breakers (OBX3) that whore installed in the late 60's in circuits for heavy Industries, more specifically for the steel coil industries.

I would like to know if anyone knows where I can find any spare parts regarding this specific equipment or if anybody can help me on finding an equivalent circuit breaker for the matter.

I'm willing to buy numerous parts regardless of being new or in second hand, I only need the guarantee that it is working within its specifications.

Please see the pictures below of the English Electric OBX3 Circuit Breaker and its specifications!

Cheers

Hélio Jonathan Jesus
