Hello all the kind souls and sifu, wondering whether anybody could give me good advise accordingly? My double storey house is about 30+ years old and the db is rather due to upgrade I think.

some of the mcb is not able to push it down anymore, the lever stuck at the position ON which is rather dangerous I think. Currently, I am thinking of adding more sockets to three of my rooms. two sockets to each room and total of 6 sockets.

Then, pulling 1 socket for kitchen hood and 2 for general sockets for kitchen usage.

Wondering what are the good steps for me to do as of my situation. I wanted to buy parts myself and ask electrician to do as I worry they might cheap out the part but I am not familiar with electric stuffs.

So I really appreciate any input from any sifus. thanks a lot in advanced.

Mullti9 macam fake breakers sia. Never heard of them. Even google images don’t seem to have mullti9

Plus the RCD 63A 0.01A sensitivity from Hager can't find anything on that P/N CB2642, for the fun of it I contacted Hager to see if they ever made it. I highly suspect it is fake.

For the parts u can buy from Official Store on shopee x
For replacement of existing MCB - U just need to buy 4pcs MCB each i.e.
4x 6A
4x 20A
4x 32A

For existing RCD [suspect fake part]
1x 2P 63A 30mA
https://shopee.com.my/ABB-RCCB-ELCB-FH202-AC-63-0.03-(30mA)-2-POLE-(2P)-i.403384113.11846935209

Then, pulling 1 socket for kitchen hood and 2 for general sockets for kitchen usage.
--The "suck hot air" hood is only 300W or so at most so not a problem to tap on existing socket "looping"
--If its the "electric cooker top u cook on" this one pull a new line from DB box and add a 20A MCB

Thanks for your help, ceo684! Really appreciate it.

I had called to my local store to inquiry about the parts availability. They came back to me with these price, wondering whether is reasonable as I am located in East Malaysia.

I also contacted two electricians for this job as I am not confident enough to do it myself.

First Electrician #1
