Wylex RECSW2S

Zoomup
This is a 100 Amp 2 pole switch with enclosure to suit meter tails.


After having taken a small sample of the plastic enclosure, and holding it in a pair of pliers, then applying a small cigarette lighter flame.....


the sample burned giving off black acrid smoke and it did not self extinguish.


Should we be concerned?

    In this case reduce to carbon with a gas torch perhaps.

    Or freezer spray and mechanical shock. with a sharp knife or similar tool.

    Next time use a sacrificial bit of metal on the hob - old aluminium pie dishes and so on are good as impromptu crucibles for things that are sub red hot.(though ally melts ~ 800C so do not over do it) Above that you could invest in a quartz or ceramic crucible.
