Switch fuse choice

[Amp David]

When installing a switch fuse isolator, 3 phase, which brand do you choose and how much do you pay.

Which have plenty of space for wiring?

Thanks for you view and opinions:icon14:

MEM switch fuses have plenty room as for pricing Iv not got a clue soz

 

[glasgowbiker42]

what size of switch fuse?
also is it a switch fuse or an isolator?

 

[glasgowbiker42]

best to clarify a switch fuse has fuses fitted whereas a isolator has solid copper links fitted.
Also i'm an old school MEM man!

Shop carefully, big differences between manufacturers and suppliers, a Contactum is around £100 + VAT while an MEM or Square D can be double that....

Just noticed that. Think i'll be going for a Contactum one, as for the price don't think i can go wrong.

SQUARE D £239.45 NETT TRADE
MEM EXCEL £258.45 NETT TRADE

YOU SHOULD GET BETWEEN 37.5% - 42% OF THOSE PRICES:whatchutalkingabout

we normally build our own as we find it cheaper - plus, can use what ever size box we want!

normally we have a 300h x 250w x 210d for a 63amp TP+N,

costs around £130+VAT to make

Seriously? £130 + VAT + labour and no warranty or type-testing?

 

[joshjoynes1988]

Yup inc. labour, of course the parts come with their own manufactors warrenty, but we also put our own on it.

Morning All,
Would you guys recommend a MEM 63a disconnecter to be used as an isolator between meter & CU.

Scenario dictates that the tails from the meter need to be re routed into another housing, ie down into ducting and back up into a new feeder pillar, so i figure that this would need to be protected. Your thoughts??
