what BS is a isolator in a cu

[Lee321]

the BS number for a typical CU isolator has gone out my head. bad day explode

what is it?

 

[loonytoon]

If you mean the main switch, BS 60947

 

[ianmacd]

Isnt it BS EN 60947-3?

 

[loonytoon]

Mmmmm, I think that would depend on the switch. I tend to just put the 60947, in the same way I only put 60898 and 61008 without the -2 etc. The box is only so big and my writing ain't all that small!

Thanks for the drink. Will save it to later .

I would have thought they were 7288's too.

Quick google search, and it appeared on the 'cough' screwfix forum 'cough' here about the 8th post down.

May not be right though! ROTFWL

 

[Lee321]

are right as i don't see "main" or "isolators" only low voltage switch gear 60947

circuit breakers 60947-2 old 3871?

60947-3 switches,disconnectors,switch-disconnectors

 

[loonytoon]

Im sorry, you've lost me.

I've had another search, and the same list keeps reappearing all over the place, though not on any 'official' sites, just forums and buisness sites?

in the regs they only list disconnectors not "main" or "isolators"

so was just questioning the terminology used in the list you found

what are bs3871 now?

 

[loonytoon]

*EDIT*

I'm sorry, I thought you we having ago!

Have now re-read what you posted, are you trying to say that when you looked in regs books to find it, you couldn't find any referance to main switch etc?
