Recently in Spain, I came across a domestic installation where all the power outlets and light fittings were live, even with the main isolator on the consumer unit switched off, When I say live, I mean the live connection to each fitting.
On investigation behind the isolator panel, I found what I deemed to be the problem. The main isolator was a single pole breaker wired onto the incoming "NEUTRAL" with the live wired direct to the individual circuit MCBs.
This cannot be correct, as the power cannot be isolated from the property.
Has anyone any comments on this practice, or come across this one before.
Thanks. Len.
