Wylex 100A dp isolators in plastic enclosures.

AJJewsbury:

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?
