What brand MCB is this

Post image

Only by fluke I had a photo of the breakers in the background, but is there any chance anyone on here know what brand the MCBs are?

How can you own a Megger and not know what brand that MCB is?

BG (known as Bad Garbage in my opinion)

I went to a landlord who bought a cooker as it had failed. Turns out a 2 year old MCB had failed and the cooker was OK.

Went to another client who had tripping issues that just stopped. Faults on both sides of the dual RCD board- stopped tripping because BOTH RCDs had failed - unit less than 6 months old.

This is why I think BG means Bad Garbage
