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.  Put two of them together in the same box, and that's another matter.




    Not sure I agree with that definition.


    And in the spirit of the relevant Regulation, it's a "technicality" at best.
