Fitting an isolator between meter and consumer unit.

Aye and calling that "Mr Whippy " Stuff Ice Cream, only proper dairy ice cream is ice cream in my book!

However if you were presented with proper ice cream, ie the way it was originally produced, you would most likely not like it.

Do tell Sunray - I was thinking about that stuff we called "Ice Cream" long before we tried "Mr Whippy" I might be in in need of educating by you on that one sir.

PS - I will not even mention pineapple on Pizza either - Pineapple fantastic love it. Pizza yes very enjoyable I will admit but Pineapple on a Pizza ! Ugghh revolting - I dont like Cabbage but even if I did I would not dream of putting custard on it!
(I still eat cabbage because it is good for you but I usually put Mint Sauce on it to enhance the taste).
I never eat Brussel Sprouts - you gotta draw the line somewhere though!

My favourite veg. Our daughter likes them too and once, when she was about 10 years old, she suggested we got one of those chocolate fountains that you dipped strawberries on a stick into but instead, she wanted to use Brussels sprouts on sticks dipped in hot running gravy!

It was crushed ice stirred into whipped cream and as the freezing point of milk is a little below 0ºC it was unlikely to be frozen and with chunks of ice in it.

What puts kids off cabbage is school cabbage, where they cook it for about 24 hours and the whole building stinks of sh...
Cooked properly, it's great.

My meter has a switch on it, and no seals on the outgoing terminals - in fact there is a removable cover over those interlocked with the switch.

Simple job to fit an isolator.

Why add a second switch?

 

[mikehammer69]

I think I know the meter type

A switch inside a removable cover to enable connection of tails

I wouldn’t consider that to be an isolator for the purpose of isolating supply to main board

No, but the isolator after that is.

Yes

"Second" to what?

I decided I'd like

a) to be able to install a CU with the incoming tails isolated.

b) to have a single point of isolation for the entire installation.

If it's the type of meter I'm aware of then both of you points are covered by the statement:
"My meter has a switch on it"
