Switch gear on heating

[james king]

Hi all... I was wondering why in the olden day electricians use old switch gear for heaters

It only feeds one heater and is a storage heater???

Any thoughts ?

Any body?? Lol

What do you mean by 'old switchgear'???

It's very old about 60 years the fuse had blown and we can not find one that fits... It's large with switch gear on the front in large writing.

Why would this be used?? For one heater?

The switch is 60 years old, it was new when it was fitted. B&Q weren’t selling modern crap then.
