Hi,
I am not an electrician and looking for some electrical advice.
We have had a new electric roller door installed at our warehouse.
The door opening is 4.5m high and the motor for the door is at this height.
The electrician has put 3 phase power supply and isolation switch at ground level for obvious safety reasons.
The wire and plug for the motor is only 1 – 1.5m long currently and the door installation company want the isolation switch placed higher up so that the plug will reach the power socket / isolation switch.
If the isolation switch is placed 3m above the ground no-one will be able to reach it unless they had a ladder.
The door installation company say that they can extend the plug and wire to meet the current isolation position but it wouldn’t be legal.
Is it right that extending the plug to meet the current isolation switch position would make the installation illegal?
