    How to get rid of an isolator switch?

    Hi, I have 3 isolator switches in my flat that appear to do nothing. Turning them on or off does not change any electrical appliance and the lights don't come on on the isolator switches. The wiring is also black in both live and neutral sockets with one green earth (see picture) which has...

    Consumer Unit isolator with RCD

    I have an old CU with BS3036 rewireable fuses. I'm having the board upgraded soon but in the meantime I'd like to add RCD protection. Can anyone tell me where I can find a consumer unit isolation switch with RCD built in - to fit between the meter and the CU?

    Cabling a remote RCD and using it as an isolator switch

    I am drawing up a contract for a job in a domestic property which has a 3-phase Distribution Board and need to supply 3ph to a heat pump that's in the same room. An MCB in the DB will feed an RCD in its own enclosure, mounted next to the heat pump 3 metres away. I know that an RCD is desirable...

    4pole isolator on single phase

    Hi, I have been asked to fit a 32a isolator ready for an air con unit and picked one up from screwfix. Unfortunately the one I have is a 4 pole, can this still be used with 6mm t&e or do I need to replace it with a 2 pole. If it can be used do I just use terminals L1 & T2 Thanks

    Boiler Isolator

    Hi All, I've just had a new condition report. He's given C2 for no fan isolator which I don't agree with. He also given C2 for the boiler being on a plug/socket rather than a DP switch. I really can't see that being potentially dangerous, what do you guys think? Also the free standing electric...

I've got the new...

    They want to install a smart meter... but won't fit an isolator... which my old meter has built-in...

    An interesting phone conversation with my own electricity supplier (Good Energy) which was very disappointing, and made me sigh (professionally) :( They phoned out of the blue to ask if they could book a date to replace my gas and electricity meters with smart versions. I said I'd probably be...

    EICR C2 for lack of isolator switch

    Hello - my sister has had an EICR done for a small flat. There is a C2 for "ensuite no fan isolator" and a C2 for "no isolator for immersion". Just asking if an isolator is a definite requirement for either of these? The immersion is on a radial with its own circuit breaker.
