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.

    If all else fails, read the definitions.


    I agree that a single switch is not a "switchgear" assembly.


    I have always thought of a consumer unit as supplying solely final circuits, but that is not what the definition says. It does, however, imply single phase: "incorporating manual means of double-pole isolation on the incoming circuit(s)".


    I agree with AJJ that a main (three-phase) DB might be construed as a "similar switchgear assembly", but were they ever made with plastic enclosures?
