Is a main double pole switch a linked switch?

[nazoom]

Hi

I am trying to fill in the Condition Report Inspection Schedule For Domestic and Similar Premises With Up To 100 A Supply. For a single phase installation. The part that I am enquiring is in Section 4.0 Consumer Unit/ Distribution Board, part 4.7 that states " Presence of main linked switch" In my installation there is a double pole main switch. Is this a Linked Switch? or does it have to be three pole switch that operate all the the three poles together at the same time?

The link refered to is so that both L & N are switched at the same time. So the main double pole switch meets that reqt.

I'm assuming this is single phase only, so not sure what you mean by three poles? .

Always better to ask when it's your first time filling in an EICR.

Your bang on. There's a few in there that make you think one thing, then read it again and you think your at college again.
No shame in asking but loads if you get it wrong.
