Could anyone tell the correct BS number for main switch. I have been told that it is 5419 and also told 5486 .I know they are both withdrawn numbers but am still unsure.

In Domestic situations it is either BS 1361 or BS 88.

Thats the main cut out fuse BS numbers.



As to the OP, you got me thinking now and i cant remember!

I think either will be ok.

You wont get hung for using the incorrect one on a cert.

Ive got all this to replace on the weekend so if you can wait ill see if one is marked

The tape is no longer, as is the cupboard that its all currently housed in.

Going to be doing it over a couple of Sundays as the owner doesnt want to shut shop.

This is only a small part of a big refurbishment project planned for the next few weeks.

Few more pics to follow.

Might even start a new 'project' thread.

It will be marked on the switch.If it isn't it won't have a bs no,so leave it blank.or even better write N/M(not marked)
rewireables-BS3036 usually 1ka but can go up to 4ka.
