[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 431000, member: 1408"] I wouldn'd say isolation in the next room is acceptable Dave , doesn't matter how many times your own spur has been used , the Regs is the Regs . Theres a cooker switch next to my cooker , I switched it on 5 years ago and not touched it since but if the cooker burst into flames at least I could switch the power off. Thats like saying I never had a fire so I won't fit smoke alarms. Theres a purpose made grid switch for kitchens with the appliances marked on the plate, DP switches with the output down to a single socket by each device. Fuse protection is in the plug tops. You can put the isolators in another room I suppose if thats what the customer wants , Not sure how many contractors would do it though , Ah just noticed you are up there over the border so no Part Pee but the same Regs apply in Scotland I believe . Local isolation means ....local isolation I'm thinking . [/QUOTE]
