What is the bs number for this?

should be marked on the device.

 

[batty]

It would depend when it was made and as Andy Says probably is marked on device.

 

[Evans Electric]

Look on device or Crabtree catalogue.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Do you mean main switch or breaker ;

 

[r.b]

it is the main switch in the fuseboard

 

[Andy™]

it is the main switch in the fuseboard

appendix 1, page 277

This question is impossible to answer correctly  without more information as the part has changed  over a period of time. Can you give a description, colours, age, ratings  or even a picture

 

[batty]

You even need to tell us if its an RCD or a main switch.

 

[r.b]

The actual red handle on the isolator is skinny and central an older type of main switch.Its not modern where the handle is equal to the width of the main breaker.Id say 15th,16th edition a guess a dont know 

 

[Andy™]

there is a few BS numbers that it could be. without reading what it says on the device, or at least a pic of it, then its not something that we can answer correctly

 

[r.b]

the main switch was on the left hand side of board any ideas?just guess

 

[Andy™]

the main switch was on the left hand side of board any ideas?just guess

the fact its on the LHS makes no difference. like i said before, there is a few that it could be. without more info, then we cannot say what it is

Can you not read it from the switch  ..on the front or on the side.

If it doesn't show a BS number  just leave it blank .. someone who worries about such things will come along one day and spend hours tracking it down .......and still no one will give a  toss  what it is.   

So move on with your life , travel the world,   meet a nice girl, get married , the sun will still rise ...let it's healing rays bathe your face with warmth and forget that once you worried about what the BS number of some ancient Crabtree main switch .

I've had a few of those on PIRs ... like I don't have enough problems because I can't tick a box on a form .  :coat

There are those who worry about such things ,  during a yearly assessment some years ago,  one of them was disconcerted because we had installed green earth cable  instead of G/Yell,   just after the yellow stripe was added.

             Being from another planet he couldn't understand that when we'd used all the green up we would then be buying G/Yell.
