Oil Boiler Isolation Switch.

Zoomup over 5 years ago

Evenin' All,

Regarding an external ground sited domestic oil fired boiler for heating and hot water that has an internal switched fused connection unit nearby inside the house, what regulations will require an external electrical isolator adjacent to the oil boiler? You know the sort of thing, a double pole rotary isolator.

so 510.3 if the MIs stipulate

132.15.201 if necessary to remove danger

And possibly, if it has an electric motor, 132.15.202

googling, in the US, code says an emergency shut off switch must be fitted outside the boiler room, or at the top of the stairs if the oil burner is in a basement
