Hey guys, as I was having troubles with my house electrical system, I have realise I have been a victim of fake counterfeit multi9 circuit breakers! You can refer to the following:

FYI, multi9 is a name of a product made by Schneider Electric under their Merlin Gerin branding.

Perhaps if you will want to check whether you're a victim. It is a fire hazard to your house, your family members and your neighbours!

What have I done? I DIY changed all mine to Hager. Now I'm using the following:
1x RCD (63A with 100mA sensitivity)
2x 20A MCB (4.5kA C20)
10x 16A MCB (4.5kA C16)
1x Doublepole 63A MCB (4.5kA C63)
1x SPD215 Surge Protector (This thing costed me RM300++!)

In total I spent RM600 on those. If I ask contractor, it will cost me a thousand! I had referred to www.hager.com.my to find their authorised wholesaler near me and bought directly from them. Some of them may not help you if you're not a contractor. So be like one if possible lol. I was wearing my street attire and didn't look like one but they still helped me.
My desired 6kA B class MCB were not in stock. Since it was urgent, I went with 4.5kA C class MCBs which were in stock. I'll change them to the better ratings when I can find the stock.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE YOURSELF UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

Hey bro,

I searched the Hager group and Hager Malaysia website, and could not find any information on their authorised wholesalers. Where did you find their authorised wholesalers on their website?

Many companies claim that they are authorised Hager suppliers, but how can we check to see if they are really authorised Hager suppliers?

Nope. I did some research a few days ago and found out that they do have a list of authorised suppliers, but they do not list them on their website. If you want their list of authorised suppliers, you can call up Hager Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd and request them to send a list of their suppliers to your email. I found their phone number and address through a simple google search.

Where did u buy it from? Should mention the shop's name and the salesman to warn other forumers. Really sad, instead of thinking how to improve their business, resellers just like to think of ways on how to con consumers and make short term profit.

Hager/ Schneider/ ABB MCBs are the top brands and premium price. Not sure whether housing developers will install these brands.

I recommend that a new DB c/w MCBs.
