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!
