Have a proper electrician deal with it, get your money back from the people who fitted it, and never use them again. --- Quote from: Vovk_Z on December 06, 2020, 05:01:25 am ---I think single isolation wires are not a large problem. Dave can isolate them with an isolating tape, for example, to feel safer. --- End quote --- That is not an acceptable solution for crappy workmanship. --- Quote ---If there isn't a dedicated electrical design project for this wiring then we can't complain about the absence of an individual circuit breaker for each aircon. --- End quote --- Sure you can. This is a fixed, dedicated load and most sensible regulations require such to have dedicated circuits. It is, however, a fairly small load in this case. --- End quote --- Wot he said, it's a shoddy job and needs to be re-done properly. Wouldn't have much if any confidence the rest of the install was done properly either. |

I had a 3.5kw unit installed for the garage a few years back and they used the power from the power point. I was curious as well back then and IIRC you had to have an isolator switch (AS/NZS 3000:2007 Clause 4.19). Attached a pic of my install. (I think it was AUD1350 installed for the Daikin Cora 3.5kw, back to back) |

That is the correct way . As per HVAC code of practice. |

Only way to isolate is the 20A breaker for the power points which also takes out half of my house. |
