[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 555130, member: 250"] Are you saying you have two "main-switches" wired in parallel to the same neutral bar? Or if not how are these two main switches connected? If connected in parallel how are you meeting compliance with 461.1.201. i.e. either switch should be able to disconnecting both live conductors of a single phase supply? Basically to my understanding any isolator switch must disconnect both the Line & Neutral conductors from its respective source of supply. (Standard/Off-Peak/PV/etc..) I suspect you could be looking at the wrong end of the problem.. e.g. If you are satisfied that the 'main-switch' arrangements meet BS7671 then I don't think you will have any issues with terminating any RCBO neutral fly-leads. Isn't this just a variation on the old landing light borrowed/shared neutral problem.. Two sources of supply can energise the same neutral conductor? [/QUOTE]
