mixed circuits

[growler]

The op is a subby and should either do as told and label it or just ask his superior the question the company must 1st fix like this and label the back of the switch, or the customer doesn't want switches next to switches

This is my problem. I dont like the way ive been asked to wire these flats but i dont want to go over the supervisors head.

Growler I think you have mis understood what you have been asked to do, I've just re read your issue and I don't think your being asked to put 2 circuits in 1 grid box. "I maybe wrong here"

The grid is on the kitchen ring. But it also had a 16A radial from the board to the grid sw then to the microwave.

Man I'm all over the place now.....So do you agree or not?

Well its probably not a good idea in a domestic installation but a design neccesity in commercial environment is the best way i can comment on this.

Better still, do whatever as it should only be us guys opening that grid switch at a later date I'm also assuming the switches will be engraved and a label inside so that's ok with me. I wouldn't do it but if I was called to it later down the line it Being labelled etc would give me some inclin

the only people who read the regs are on the whole are electricians and the regs are open to interpration by each individual
they will never been able to cater for idiots! any good electrician would presume theres a chance of more than 1 circuit at a 2g sw and would test, diy darrens will never be stopped untill electricity is seen in the same light as gas and anyone proved to have worked on it without the correct certs etc would be fined or jailed! or sent to the electric chair along with there first born!!!!!
