[QUOTE="Mr Sworld, post: 23353, member: 184"] There can be a voltage present on the neutral even when the live is isolated, this can be due to inductance or a multitude of other causes. When a live is isolated it doesn't 'isolate' the circuit, you would need to pull the neutral to completely isolate a circuit. Hence double pole switches. Say what you like about our European cousins electrical work but when I was over in France doing a bit of work I noticed all their fuses/mcb's are double pole so when you pull/switch off one of the the circuit IS isolated. A good idea I think. [/QUOTE]
