Does this have a BS number?

[richy3333]

Can't turn the power off to look inside. Could anyone tell me if this isolator have a BS number?

Thanks.

Looks like a BS EN 60947-3

Im not sure kitchen foil has a BS number yet but it definitely should - the amount of times i used it to earth bits and bobs with. handy stuff

Bit big for a cooker isolator...

Is it a bs 5419?

BSEN60947-3

Think the model number is 60AXTN assuming its 60A

Surely too old for en numbers?

The bs I quoted was from 1 I have in the stores in the box, however the switch is on the right hand side not the left so maybe I have a newer version

I think you may have the 'Excel 2' model with the switch on the right.

I would hazard a guess that it's a pre 1992 unit and therefore would be to BS 5419. The fuses inside however (assuming it is a switchfuse) and not a simple switch disconnector, could be anything.

It is a 5419 Isolator

Looks like a MEM Exel Series 1, BS5419, Switched Fused Disconnector.

there may also be ASBESTOS depending on age as the flash gaurds on older ones have it

Cheers Lenny. Yeah, at a guess its 25/30+ years old.

Unfortunately I can't look inside the box as I wasn't allowed to turn the power off
