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.

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



    I did ask the same question some time ago, so I bought one on the strength of that. But they are not quite the same, in the way the terminal tunnels line up with the enclosure clamp. The whole thing is cramped and could cause more problems than you are trying to solve.  Also be aware there are "differing" Wylex REC2's and REC4's. For example there is a REC 2 and a REC2S, the latter being the "slimline" and far inferior to the former. You may find that "the better ones" are only sold to the DNO.
