Changeover switch

[russellsmiler]

Hello all
Hopefully my image will show when i post this!!
All i ask is that is what i have drawn feasable,
At this stage not concerned about alternatives, earthing issues, or anything else,
Would just like to know if this is a simple way of powering a set of buildings through alternate meters.

Many thanks
Russell

Read the other thread! It's likely to be unsafe.

What thread, and what post on that thread.

The instalation is existing up to Dis board 1 and dis board 2

Each supply to the changeover switch and to outbuildings rcd protected
Distribution in buildings is further rcd protected (i use the word further, even though it does not nessissarily other FURTHER protection)

It has gone way of track because you want a "simple" solution but for this there is no simple and safe way.

A change-over switch MUST ensure that both live and neutral from one supply are fully disconnected before either of the other live and neutral are connected. If Live A and Neutral B are connected to the shed circuits then RCDs will be tripped.

Or, worse, if one house CU has been turned off, and the switch does a make before break then it will, albeit briefly but that can be enough to kill, have its installation energised via the other house.

This is the changeover switch that i was proposing to use
its obviously got an off position so would imagine there is no chance of any problem??

Hello, can anybody hear me ?

You have been told it would not be wise to feed a switch with two different domestic supplies !

As you don't get on, who would be responsible for it ?
Where would it go so you can both access it ?
As has been said before what's to stop him (or you) switching it over to 'steal' electricity when one or other of you is out ?

Please listen to what you have been told !

 

[bernardgreen]

that looks like it might be second hand, if it is do you know its history ?

Are its contacts in good condition or are they worn or maybe damaged ?

AND YOU NEED TO DESIGN THE EARTHING AND PROTECTION BEFORE YOU DESIGN THE CHANGE OVER PART

Edit

Is it this one

At this stage not concerned about alternatives, earthing issues, or anything else,

From your previous postings, it is evident that you are not concerned about anything anyone says, as you have completely ignored the answers to everything else you asked about.

Stop wasting everyone's time and just go and do whatever you have already decided to do.
