[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 555219, member: 250"] I don't think isolators are confusing... But possibly your question is confusing... What exactly are you asking? Not 100% convinced your assumptions are accurate? e.g. why would anybody reach for "The-Red-Switch" after using a hob or cooker-top? Many modern single ovens can just plug into a 13A socket off a ring circuit... No isolator.. No 6.0mm.. No 10.0mm.. Just a 13A pre-fitted moulded plug! Most Ovens have integral clocks to allow for timed cooking operations.. But if you keep turning the power off the clock will reset to 0:00.. which is of no use at all!. Suitable protective devices and cable sizes must be installed to supply any load.. And some isolation functions can also be incorporated in the protective device without need to additional local switch.. The majority of electrical design concepts have multiple solutions that can all meet BS7671, And there are NO specific wiring regulations stating exactly how a cooker/oven circuit must be wired... But a competent electrician will be able to assess the possible practical and cost effective solutions for any particular application.... Without seeing your exact property and circuit arrangements, any other advice is mostly guesswork! [/QUOTE]
