Wylex 100A dp isolators in plastic enclosures.

hertzal123
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.

    Alcomax:

    From experience, the REC2 is not really suitable in most instances, but they are tried and tested. They are designed for their own isolator and that is fine.




    Other makes exist, but Wylex is happy for their enclosure to be used for their Type S RCD - I have enquired of them.


    In a TT system, if you are going to have a switch in the tails - some suppliers insist on fitting them - followed by a switch in the CU, doesn't it make sense to put the RCD upstream rather than downstream?
