Evening gents,

I was working on an install today and the main switch was an MEM exel TP 60A. I have had a good look round it and can't find a BS number on it.

I am not sure if it is a BS 5419 isolator as it has 60A BS 3036 fuses in it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Naturally there is a photo :wink:

5419 does indeed fit the bill (having looked in my 15th, the 16th doesn't list that number....), but I'm just wondering if there are any others.

STOP PRESS:

This website:http://www.memonline.com/exelfuse.html says they are manufactured to BS5486, part 11.

But were the old ones?

Best to ring MEM and ask, methinks matey. Can you gauge the YOM?

Are you thinking of the Bs for the whole thing, or just the main switch? You want this for an EIC or PIR?

I guess if the switch itself does not have a reference to a BS number, then the BS number covers the whole unit. Perhaps. Maybe....
 
The BS is required for an EIC. The TP isolator feeds an adjacent TP dist board with no isolator, so the exel counts as the main switch

Not sure of the YOM, it is not stamped on anywhere I can see.

The install dates to around 1985 AFAICT.

There is also a whole bank of SP exels for JohnD to see :wink:
