    Supply isolators

    Hi, just a quick thought before I buy a load of plastic ones... would you say that a supply isolator for the meter tails also needs to be in a metal enclosure with ref 421.1.201? i was just about to buy another 20 isolators and it suddenly occurred to me.

    Isolators in a kitchen cupboard?

    What's your view on putting isolators a inside kitchen cupboards mounted on a surface box? I'd normally have them on show obove worktop but in this case the walls are being clad with composite stone. Is there any reason why this wouldn't comply with regs?

    Rotary isolators

    As above, can any recommend a decent brand, I've been using 63a & 100a IMO Stag branded ones which have caused me no end of trouble with screw heads shearing off with minimum force, I've changed the guts on 3 of these and now lost total faith in them. Cheers

    Fan isolators

    I know we all instal fan isolators but is this just a habit or a necessity. Could a double pole switched fcu be used instead, feeding a permanent live and a switched live via a pull coard? Just a thought or have I missed something?

I don't see any issues in practice I am just not clear about the...

    Using rotary isolators for switching loads on and off?

    Hi Can you use rotary isolators to switch resistive loads on and off on a regular basis (talking 18KW load here) I personally thought not, that it should be controlled through a contactor but I have seen another installation that is using isolators thx Bigfoots

    AC isolators - still required at CU?

    It has been a long time since I installed an inverter in a loft. I'm doing one tomorrow and I can't recall whether an AC isolator would be required at the CU. Obviously it would be at the inverter but I seem to recall the rules being relaxed for the isolator at the CU?
