Plastic switch in external meter box

aligarjon
Can i fit a plastic switch fuse such as an 800kmf in the external meter box or does it have to be metal.   I am not interested in the dno view, they always seem to be happy with our switch gear in there around here so long as we leave them enough room.

    In the way that there is no multitude of thin final circuit wires routed like spaghettii, some pulled violin tight from side to side in front of others, I suggest the risks from one of these are NOT in any way similar to a consumer unit. Let us remind ourselves in the pic below what one a "good" example of a modern post part P (look at the new colours ! ) twin RCD installation can look like. (and remind ourselves that some total shyster charged good money to leave it like that. Funny that word fails the spell check. You  know what I mean. )


    And you are not putting your switch indoors. Do it well and do not worry too much.

    The risk is simply not similar in any way.
