Thanks Everyone, replacement with a 100A isolation switch seems best option. Regards

Hi all, Does any one know if a WYLEX 100mA 80A RCD WEM 80/2 is time delayed. It currenty protects a TT system and I will be upgrading the consumer unit to an 17th edition unit with 2X30mA RCD's. I worried about discrimination, and dont want it tripping before the 30mA RCDS's I know removing...

hi all, Looks like general concesus is that it shouldn't be a problem, It will be well within 2m of the appliance, s(hould be able to stir the gravy and still access it at the same time) There hasn't been any switch at all, straight from consumer unit, new owner, now finding the problems. Thanks

Hi All, cooker and hob on an Kitchen "island" unit. customer wants isloation swith in the cupboard to the left of the cooker. will be a double pole isolation swith, can any one see a problem with that? Thanks again in advance. Freetrader

Thanks for that, I also noticed on page 10, m. The fitting and replacement of cookers and electric showers is not notifiable unless a new circuit is needed so in the case I have the circiut is already there, just need the accessory sorted out. views please.

Well got through exam ok, put down the lowest value, that was correct. I was also verbally asked about which value as well. Thanks to all. :Y

I was dreading it at first, thought that they would stand over you while finding the faults. I was left to get on with it after been given the symptoms. then call them over when a fault is found. remember though, only call them when you are sure. they will ask where the fault is and ask you how...
