Are those 25mm tails?

You'd need to ADAPT something for that.

 

[baazab]

yes 25mm tails

Stick a dappy box above isolator and take swa cores into it?

 

[somersetsparks]

Thinking about it though, will you need to fuse your submain? (answer almost certainly yes) ;-)

 

[somersetsparks]

OK since all is quiet, I would purchase a wylex 108M and a 60 or 80A fuse to protect your submain (dependant on reference method), Move the isolator up put the Switchfuse below it and tail into that from isolator, then take your armoured straight into the switchfuse as it will be metal, I would say it would be perfectly acceptable to your DNO to have a suitable switchfuse mounted in their meter box

 

[baazab]

sorry lads ,thanks for the reply ,my swa cable will be clipped direct to out side wall 30meter long,

Personally i'd say that isolater wasn't DNO property and was only installed for ease of self connection and so that they can walk away with the meter sealed.

I would remove it and put the tails straight into your switch fused. Move that earth as well to give you all the bottom right corner.
