--- Quote from: Simon on February 15, 2011, 07:26:23 am ---Well in the name of safety I'll be playing skeptical like you and always disconnect the source before the mains plug. once I have it up and running I may well "wire it in", I could put an RCD in line with it, at any rate a double pole switch will be installed at some point. As sockets in the UK have a swirch on them I won't have to unplug it to turn it off but just operate the socket switch, but ultimately a double pole switch is going in there --- End quote --- That's fair enough, I cannot see you having problems, I'm just amazed at the concept. Most of our electrical rules are BS ones with the BS rubbed out and AS written in in it's place. And the mandatory C-Tick to give the government another gouge. Mind you all the free trade concessions now have any old rubbish being accepted. We can no longer be trusted to wire and fit piggyback plugs correctly but we must accept Chinese product with green active wiring. Go figure. We've got a couple of 2.5KW grid tie systems installed under contract at 60c/KW-hr they are on course for a four year payback. Now the tariff only offers 20c/KW-hr so the sums don't work for new systems. Government incompetence at is usual heights. |

To be honest I was amazed that the uk grid supplieris happy for me to just plug my own equipment in providing it's certified (yea I'm sure we all know what certified from china means), but apparantly it is fine |
