Wylex 100A dp isolators in plastic enclosures.

Just wondered  why these are not classed as "similar switchgear" to consumer units etc which are supposed to be in

non flammable enclosures in domestics.

    Because one switch on its own isn't "switchgear", whether or not it's "similar" to a CU.



    Agreed. To my mind the "similar switchgear" is meant to cover situations like large domestics with a 3-phase supply where something like a B type distribution board might be used in place of a consumer unit, as such DBs don't quite meet the part 2 definition of a consumer unit.
