Discuss Main Switch/isolator in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

Also 1 argument could be if an emergency arose,say something went wrong in busbar chamber loose connection/arcing the only way to isolate would be to pull the service fuses,potentially under load which could result in injury.
 
Sounds like the lack of ACB or even isolation might mean the chamber was originally designed as having 'fault free' zones.
