Discuss general rant....ish in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I suppose its not a question of what we think we should do,but what complies
I dont for a moment want to justify the design, or agree, but I will give opinion that would have to be answered to condemn the install

His actual words were , if you need to isolated anything all you have to do is walk down to the cellar and turn the relevant switch off?


It would appear that all you are left with to argue is whether the isolation of the appliances should be local, or is remote isolation adequate (that is if the appliances don't meet the isolation question in the first instance)

The isolation arguments that abound, it could be reasonably argued, that the main switch of the consumer unit covers just about anything and the cooker is the only contender for local isolation and its already been mentioned that there is no requirement for it to be an emergency switch,

It doesn't look to me like its a done deal that the installer is out of order
 
P6280020.JPGHere is another view they did a few years ago that i got called out today instead 4 seperate switches there are 4 on the grid great you say but they are MEM and you cannot get them (unless you know)
 
Idi just try to reply to a few comments , but pressed wrong button and lost it all!! I took appendix H4 cooker circuits in household and similar premises to mean that a cooker or hob etc should have control switch or cooker control no more than2 mtrs away from appliance. If i have read this or interpreted it wrong i would rather be put right than carry on thinking wrongly . thanks
