    32A commando socket without isolator

    Any issues with installing one of these without an isolator? The D.B is about 3 meters away and the commando socket will be mounted under a kitchen worktop for a coffee machine and there isn't enough room for an isolator.

    Bno Supply - Isolator

    Hi, I am quoting the switchgear for a BNO install. I have only worked on MEM (Glasgow) isolators but was looking at the contactum TPN 200amp isolator as another option. I need some advice, if I should stick with the MEM. I will be terminating 95mm in the isolator after the UKPN cutout.

    Rotary Isolator that takes 2x16mm?

    Does anyone know of a rotary islotaor, weatherproof, that'll take 2 x 16mm incomers? I've got long runs out to parking bollards so they've had to size up the cable for volt drop. I could do it with a street light cutout but it wouldn't allow them easily isolate it. Many thanks for any help.
