The bs I quoted was from 1 I have in the stores in the box, however the switch is on the right hand side not the left so maybe I have a newer version

I think you may have the 'Excel 2' model with the switch on the right.

I would hazard a guess that it's a pre 1992 unit and therefore would be to BS 5419. The fuses inside however (assuming it is a switchfuse) and not a simple switch disconnector, could be anything.

Looks like a MEM Exel Series 1, BS5419, Switched Fused Disconnector.

there may also be ASBESTOS depending on age as the flash gaurds on older ones have it

Cheers Lenny. Yeah, at a guess its 25/30+ years old.

Unfortunately I can't look inside the box as I wasn't allowed to turn the power off
