[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 498832, member: 250"] Stupid comparison!!!!!!!! :pmsl1: As I don't think I have ever seen a light fitting with instructions that stated a double pole isolating switch with least 3mm separation gap must be installed in the supply to that item..... ? Whereas.. Electric showers and/or cookers... erm.. Oh no hang on..... :o These are the instructions that you claim "most manufactures get wrong!?" :shakehead I doubt the MCB at the CU provides "Double Pole" isolation as recommended by 99.999999% of manufactures and thus by BS7671 wiring regulations.. due to.. 134.1.1 previously 133-01-01 before that 130-01-01.. etc.. But you can keep up "your illusion that most manufactures instructions are wrong" and pick and choose which bits you want to do, or not, as the case may be... Meanwhile... Back to the "TRIPPING PROBLEM" wot the thread is actually about.... Do you have any applicable answer to the OP's question?... Or is it still just trying to nit pick descriptions and regs? (which has happened more than once on your prolific previous 10 posts!) :C [/QUOTE]
