[Building advice]

Hello everyone. I'm hoping you can advise. I am in need of a 100amp fused isolator switch with a tiny footprint. Any recommendations please? Thanks

Hi BA and welcome to the Forum .
Can you tell us a bit more? What's it for and why must it be small?

Thanks for all the replies. I have relocated my CU. It was originally next to the mains meter and is now much further. I believe I will need the isolator switch next to the meter now. I didn't realise I would need this as the whole point of moving it was so that it was less noticeable. But now I've been told I will need the switch next to the meter so I'm trying to get it as small as possible. Thanks

Assuming you are using swa you won't get much smaller than this. Lewden is generally a poor quality option but it is what it is.

Are you able to install them in such a way that they won't need RCD protection? And where are you getting double insulated cables from?

How on earth did you carry out the cable calculations for the submain without an OCPD rating for the circuit?

Thanks for replying. I am not an electrician. I am acting on advice given to me by a friend (who is a sparky) and the electric wholesaler I have been purchasing materials from. So sorry but I have no idea about your question davesparks.

Best let your electrician make the choice and not make decisions from hearsay.
