hiya can anyone help me.
i attended a store to replace some faulty lamps only to find that all the light fittings in the store are switched by the mcb's. bs60898
i've only just recenlty passed my electrical qaulifacations and still coming to grips with the regs.
i've searched the reg's on this matter and all i can find is table 53.2 p117. which seems to indicate that a bs 60898 can be used as functional switching.
is this acceptable to use mcb's as a light switch?
i'm sure the main purpose of an mcb is a form of protection not a form of isolation.
your help would be appreciated
