Neutrals in light switch

[Guest55]

this all sounds very familiar.......... :-/

nothing in BS7671 against wagos or choc blocks. bet there's something against in the niceic rules though.

That means it will be time for a new niceic book ching ching

 

[Guest55]

only a complete effing moron would spend money on a nic publication.

the famous 5 go camping series is more factually correct.

=_=

This was a grey area many years ago, from memory my old college tutors and sparkies, said never have neutrals in back of switch box, have done it myself a few times.If I did a job and it got knocked back I would fit a 20amp dp switch.

Wagos for me - as long as the box is 25 or 35mm!

Nothing against a neutral in the switch back box, but only as and when it's required. Looping a complete circuit through switch boxes is another matter altogether!

push in for solid or stranded cables e.g. 1.5mm, 2.5mm. lever type for flexes. just bear in mind that they're not like choc blocks where you fit L,N, and E in. they're called 2 pole, 3 pole etc., but should be called 2 port etc.
