Bill Talisman main switch

Can anyone point me in the direction of a data sheet and BS number?

  • It looks like a G frame MCCB so possibly a TLG801, which I think is a 947-2

  • Zs for old Breakers.pdf

     

     


  • Well that worked, sort of.  I was going to post with above Eaton PDF:


    I am sure Eaton will not mind posting this. It is what they will email out for enquiries for data for MEM [ MGL/MFN] and BILL [TLG/ TNF].


    Edit: gave up trying ordinary text after pasting in the PDF. Easier to have a 2nd post, though I am sure there is a method.
  • one of the neater ways of avoiding a ryefield box. Lets hope it is all deburred inside and they have not accidentally put the neutral of flat 12 in the slot for flat 11, as it would al work, but make isolation a bit scary.

    .Does the 'T' button do anything ?

    Maybe you can lock the room/cupboard ? I have seen things done with a bike lock in an emergency case..

    i presume you do not want to pull the fuse under the meter for the flat in question.

  • I think the T is for Talisman, there definitely is not a test function and it is definitely a switched neutral as I did an insulation test on the other end of the distribution cable in the flat.


    For the EICR I am treating this as suppliers equipment, however as was pointed out to me on the phone last night it’s after the meter, so is probably the property of the leaseholder of the flat as there won’t be a BNO.


    There are forty six of these in the panel that are around sixteen years old, the flats are all electric without E7 and storage heaters, so all the heating is on these supplies, I cannot imagine any of these devices have been stressed, but if one fails it will be interesting to see what it gets replaced with and by whom, I guess the individual leaseholder for the flat concerned will end up footing the bill.

  • There’s forty six flats, I already have two EICRs to do in the block, if half the flats in the block are tenanted there could potentially be around twenty electricians inspecting these panels within the next seven months, I guess some of them might feel the urge to open them up, but I certainly do not!
