Help Please - Lockable DP Isolatorfor Domestic Use

[Allan White]

Hi all... I'm new here and already looking for help with an odd request

I'm looking for a lockable double pole switched fused spur suitable for domestic installation... does anyone here know if such a thing is available?

Even an hour with Mr Google doesn't turn anything up and I really don't want to fit an industrial red/yellow double pole 'rotary' isolator between the spur and a new CHP boiler (how many woman would have that in a kitchen???).

BTW the reason I'm asking is that I work in the micro CHP field and the upcoming G83 requirements will mean all micro CHP boilers will require a lockable double pole isolator to be fitted. Note this is subtly different from the current regs which require a securable dp isolator (eg a domestic switched fused spur).

Thanks in advance y'all

Allan

Hi Allan. I've looked at the Genlec website before. Could you, or someone else from Genlec, give us an insider's overview of the CHP product and say how the trials are going (as far as you're allowed to). I'm sure members here would be interested.

Will have a word with my colleagues on Monday about how much I can say before putting my foot in it...

What I can say is that I've been with company for 4 1/2 years and I've seen the product go from concept to product. The units going on field trials are for telemetry/data gathering, controls operation and reliability tests in a real world environment - all I can say is that they work well in a 'lab' environment. We're all confident that this product can go on to make a big impact on the market (In fact most of us have bought shares in the company from our own pockets!!!) but I suggest you won't see them on kitchen walls for a little while yet.... Watch this space!

In the meantime if you have any specific questions message me and I'll do my best to answer.
