So looking through regs items need to be switched to be controlled. So does an Alexa for type switch count. If you run a normal switch then add Alexa bulb say at some point someone will turn off the switch and the item will over time deprogramme. Therefore you could short back of switch giving constant power and solving problem but is that within the regs?

  • I think that BOD was saying that if you unscrew and pull out the fuse tray, you can pop in a lock-out padlock.



    Indeed - the point I was trying to make was that doing so only isolates L, not N - hence is no longer good for isolation, or indeed switching off for mechanical maintenance, in an increasing number of situations.
