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.

  • I think that a double pole switch does meet the definition of switchgear as defined in Part 2



    I hope you're wrong - otherwise we'll start to need metal clad rotary isolators and FCUs. Where's the "auxiliary" switching equipment when you only have a single switch disconnector in a box?

     

    but think about what the regulation is intended to do



    Distract attention away from CU manufacturers making plastic cases that weren't quite as self-exitinguishing as the standards required?
