Hi , I'm new to the forum.
I was hoping for some sound advice before I call someone in and look silly
I'm about to replace a cracked wall mounted 20A DP switch.It serves a storage heater.
The connections are as follows,
The feed neutral is connected to top terminal 1 , the feed phase to top 2 (so it is nearest the earth connection)
The HRC flex phase is connected to the bottom terminal directly below top 1 and the HRC flex neutral is connected to the bottom terminal below top 2.
Is something arse about face here?
I've checked other DP switches in the house and the feed phases are connected to top 1 and feed neutrals to top 2 every time
The flex connections correspond with the top ones.
The storage heater has served me well for a number of years!!
Sorry if this is a daft question.
Steve
