I think im being a spanner,

I have a wylex MESB-63NO contactor ok...
See link: Wylex MESB-63NO 4 Pole NO Contactor 63 Amp

and I "presumed" that it was a Line and Neutral on the fly leads from the time switch....

Some 20 year old from eOn arrived, had no idea, checking for a dead with a volt pen... and a death pen thing you put you finger on, saying is it off now? I was embarrassed for him. He said you always switch the neutral, you dont switch live... ok?

Anyway, he said that both fly leads from the contactor are neutral.

Can someone tell me how I get power to my contactor as I am now confused...

This is how I have it wired at present and it doesnt work..

Just so you get it, the bottom of the time switch, there are 4 cables going into it, the middle two are Line and Neutral (so cable 2 and 3 from left) ok. The switch works fine, turns and works as you would expect.

The one on the left, I presumed was switched Line from the drawing in the back and the one on the right was neutral, but now I see having experimented that the two outer ones have continuity when the clock is in "ON" mode for power to the house, not OFF.

I just assumed that the right hand small one was Neutral, hence taking one from each to the contactor to A1 for Line and A2 for neutral.

Can someone with a better understanding of this explain to me how I connect both of these wires to the contactor and a neutral (I can pick a neutral up easy, thats not a problem, just dont get what the other two do.)

Thanks!

There will be a wiring diagram moulded into the inside if the terminal cover of the timeswitch.

Why were EON involved? If it's their timeswitch then I'm sure you wouldn't have been taking it to bits. And if it's not theirs then?

Why on earth would someone create another forum? What a crazy idea ;) imagine that, an other forum, a place where diyers are politely asked to leave and some grumpy git guards the gates to keep the riff raff out!
Wouldn't that be nice.
