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 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?



    There are plenty of 3-phase plastic DBs on the continent that are laid out horizontally like a CU but have a 3-phase busbar - as they'll comply with EN 61439 they should be suitable for use in the UK if you don't need annexe ZB.
