Double pole isolator

[Newbyspark]

Hi all,

Iv got the DNO replacing the incoming overhead supply cables tomorrow, I am going to ask to put isolator switch in after the meter. Any advice on best one to get, there's not a lot of room where the meter is so smaller the better. Thanks.

DNO won't add an iso, that's the supplier's job. They will, however, be happy to let you add one while the power's off.
I use Wylex too.

SSE fitted a new meter on a job last week and it had a isolator built in to the meter.

Make sure that you get the ip rating, ip4x top, ip2x bottom

I've had the same happen. This is not guaranteed though, and my point is that the DNO are not "obliged" to fit an isolator, and most will tell you that "it's not our job".
