What purpose is a cooker isolator intended to serve? Mechanical maintenance, emergency switching or functional switching?
Where does the 2M rule originate from? I've personally not seen it in BS7671, the OSG or the EGTTBR (it doesn't mean it's not there, just that I've not seen it). Manufacturers instructions?
I'm not arguing against the need for one as it's something I've always done and kept to within a 2M distance from the cooker.
It's also required for a cooker circuit to be installed without a cooker present.
