Switch fuse - metal clad recommendations

[Octopus]

Need to do a switch fuse install and I was wondering which products people prefer ........

Needs to be metal as the sub main is going to be SWA

Thanks

Wylex available 100, 80 and 60. Very nice looking unit. Haven’t had the pleasure to use one yet but. . .
Little extra expense but a one off.

Its quite big and I need to fit it into the meter cupboard!

Well you didn’t say you had restrictions! It’s not that small but is after all a switch and a fuse holder. I’ll keep looking - what dimensions do you have?

Lewden are slightly smaller.....

Other than that, a metal enclosure butted up to a KMF switchfuse might be smaller still

Apologies - more haste, less speed.

The Lewdens one looks OK and I didn't know TLC sold them .......... last time round I used a Proteus unit - which didn't impress me much!

No, and FYI I buy as much as I can locally - its worth it to keep the wholesalers onside..

That looks remarkably similar to the Lewdens unit!

Yeah it's the same just with tail clamp.

Looks a bit plastically to me? Is this domestic Murdoch?

It is domestic and a switch fuse isn't a fuseboard ..............................

I fitted the Wylex one the other day.

The terminations use Allen keys. The through link earth connections , accept up to 16mm, but have no continuity with the internal earth bar (10mm max I think). So bit tricky. I added an extra earth block.

Really, that's a debate set up for whole weekend conference.

No debate - its not a fuseboard.

AFAIAA BS7671 17th Ed. AMD3 doesn't clarify this, and nor does the 18th Ed AFAIAA

This could gone on like the Zdb Ze zebbydy thing.

But whom I'm I to say. You say tomatoes, I say tomatoes, but Wylex seem to be manufacturing these things with A3 in mind. Are you right or are they?
