I have a Breaker issue

[Streetrod]

Hopefully any electricians on here might be able to help me out.

Our Breaker box is an old Crabtree SB6000; it appears that we have a duff SB6000 10amp type 2 breaker. My local electrical wholesaler does not have a replacement and I can’t even find one on eBay.

My question is are there any other equivalent makes that I could use instead?

Thanks in advance for your help

On the circuit there are 3 low voltage halogens, 7 MR16 GU5.3's, 11 GU10's a bathroom extractor fan and a hob extractor fan. It was wired like this when I bought the house 12 years ago and has not given any trouble up untill now.

I found a couple of the transformers on the MR16's that had over heated and have replaced those but the breaker keeps checking out after a couple of hours or so

More likely a circuit fault in all likelyhood. Any light thats always on when it trips? Might not solve it but worth trying a bit of process of elimination

Thats the odd thing, it still trips in the middle of the night when no lights are on
