I will try to explain this as best I can,
Did and EICR this afternoon, multi story apartment block DB's in flats are effectively submains from switch room in basement,
Fed with 3 core SWA, 2 cores supply peak side and the 3rd core supplies off peak side.
Problem is, is that the neutral is shared by both sides and the right hand main switch does not isolate the neutral for the off peak loads, the neutrals for the off peak loads are just linked across the neutral bar. So the only way to isolate both line and neutral for the off peak is to isolate BOTH main switches.
Fixing this is not a problem I'm just unsure what code this warrants.
Any help?
Cheers
