I never said turn off the whole CU. The lights are not on the same circuit as kitchen appliances. Cordless phones come with a warning that they don’t work without power and a corded phone should be kept.
In the 26-Counties it is a Rule breach which would prevent certification and prevent you from getting an ESB supply so your comments aren't entirely accurate.
Winston was the one who incorrectly claimed that it was unnecessary in other parts of the world. I proved him to be incorrect.
You incorrectly claimed that it was unnecessary in other parts of the world. I proved you to be incorrect.
I'm not sure what is being said here. What is a "Rule breach" in those places - installing "a row of isolators above kitchen worktops" or not installing "a row of isolators above kitchen worktops"?
Not installing isolators is prohibited.
I guessed that much - but is it also prohibited to not have "a row of isolators above kitchen worktops"?
The isolator must be within 2m of each appliance so a grid arrangement is out of the question.
In that case I'm getting confused. If you are interpreting "a row of isolators above kitchen worktops" as meaning "a grid arrangement", which is "out of the question" in places near you, your statement about those places surely does not invalidate winston's statement that such an arrangement is not "done in other parts of the world" (i.e. parts of the world other than the UK), does it?
I said that each isolator needs to be within two metres of the appliance rather than just having a grid switch with everything on it, so it's your interpretation which is incorrect.
