[QUOTE="kerching, post: 498820, member: 11861"] JD usually beats Mr Merlot, but in this case I think he has Top Trumps anyway, isolation MR Merlot and his Chilean mentor say "isolation is disconnection of all current carrying conductors including the neutral" so unless you turn off an RCD that covers half the board. (Which we all know is fully compliant ) then you need to turn the board off as the MCB only kills the line/live as it is single Pole ( unless you have DP RCBOs in your board? And who has them?....oh yeah, ME!!! ) so isolation is afforded by the local DP,switch........ or is he wrong again? He says he will be back later with his mate Jim Beam and a Boxed set of RR dresses [/QUOTE]
