Supply isolators

I have always fitted the Wylex REC2STT which has the twin terminals...

That's interesting. I didn't know that there is a twin terminal version.

Wylex and proteus both do them now, haven't seen the Wylex one but the proteus one is surprisingly good! Uses 3mm hex key terminals. They've even done a range of 100amp blocks as well.

Yes they are 3mm Allen key. They at really good, I way prefer having two screws over one, it's kind of a fail safe!

Hi,

just a quick thought before I buy a load of plastic ones...

would you say that a supply isolator for the meter tails also needs to be in a metal enclosure with ref 421.1.201?

i was just about to buy another 20 isolators and it suddenly occurred to me.

I wouldn't buy a load of them, unless you can install before the 1st Jan! I asked Wylex if their were going to manufacture an A3 metal SWF, and they said one's being developed. Question, would installing in a meter box on the outside of a property, be 'within' a domestic property?
