Can anyone help with this please :-
I have purchased a new Triton 9.5 kw electric shower which, according to the instructions, needs a triple pole switch with at least 3mm contact gap to be included in the circuit. This needs to be a ceiling pull cord switch for the bathroom. Problem is, I can't seem to find one. i.e. at TLC, Screwfix and on ebay the only switches like this are double pole (DP). The description of the switches (such as the MK 3164) says : 'The switch fully complies
with the 16th Edition IEE Wiring
Regulations with respect to safety
isolation for maintenance purposes
and provides a full 3mm contact
gap when 'OFF' '
Is it OK to use this to isolate a 9.5kw electric shower?
All help very much appreciated
thanks,
Tony
