45a isolator switch

[Custom45]

Hi
I need to replace a 45a isolator switch for an electric shower (face plate is cracked)

I need it to have supply/feed terminals at bottom and load terminals at top. All the ones I'm seeing are the other way round though. Any ideas? Thanks.

Fit the switch upside down if you can't find one with the terminals as you want !

It’s standard to have the load terminals at the top of the isolator. Can you see a manufacturers name on the old isolator?

It doesn’t actually really matter if you connect the supply and load cables the wrong way round as long as your isolator does NOT have a neon indicator. Just make sure you keep the live and neutral wires in the correctly marked terminals.

Crabtree ones have the supply at the bottom and the load at the top.

Are the wires too short then??

Thanks, I'll look at Crabtree


Yes, cable to the shower is not long enough to reach terminals if they are at the bottom.
