Interlocked sockets

Neil1980
Hi all.


Recently had a contractor carry out a periodic inspection on our site (warehousing and workshops) and they have specified that all the 16A and 32A (1ph & 3ph) sockets need to be interlocked.


Is this true, or are they just finding £5k of additional work to carry out?


I can only find reference to caravan sites (Sec. 708) requiring interlocked sockets. 


Any other sections that reference this requirement on industrial and commercial installations?


Thanks in advance,

Neil

    Hi all.


    Thanks for the input.


    Have gone back to the contractor and awaiting clarification. This is one of a number of questions raised on the results sheet.


    I also contacted Mennekes technical, who had not heard of this, other than EV charging and Caravan parks. If the people who make the sockets haven't heard this, then it must be highly questionable, otherwise they would be making a fortune replacing the hundreds of thousands of sockets out there...wink


    Thanks again,

    Neil
