16 460 Introduction
17 This chapter deals with non-automatic local and remote isolation and switching measures
18 which prevent or remove dangers associated with electrical installations or electrically
19 powered equipment.
20 461 General
21 461.1 According to the intended function(s), every device provided for isolation or switching
22 shall comply with the relevant requirements of Clause 537.
23 461.2 In TN-C systems and in the TN-C part of the TN-C-S systems, the PEN conductor shall
24 not be isolated or switched.
25 In TN-C-S and TN-S systems, the neutral conductor is not needed to be isolated or switched if
26 the supply network operator declares that either the PEN or the N conductor of the supply is
27 reliably connected to earth by a suitably low resistance.
28 This low resistance may be verified by measurement of the resistance of the earth electrode
29 in accordance with Clause 612.
30 461.3 The measures described in this chapter are not alternatives to the protective measures
31 described in Chapters 41 to 45 inclusive.
32 462 Isolation
33 462.1 Each electrical installation shall have provisions for isolation from each supply.
34 462.2 Every circuit shall be provided with a device capable of isolating each of the live supply
35 conductors, except as detailed in Clause 461.2.
36 Provisions may be made for isolation of a group of circuits by a common means, if the service
37 conditions allow this.
38 462.3 Suitable means shall be provided to prevent any equipment from being inadvertently or
39 unintentionally energized/operated.
40 Such precautions may include one or more of the following measures:
41 - location within a lockable space or enclosure.
42 - padlocking;
43 - warning notices.
44 Where used, short-circuiting and earthing may be considered as supplementary precautions.
45 462.4 Where, storage, residual or coupling electrical energy is potentially present, suitable
46 means shall be provided for the discharge (see details in Part 5-55).
47 463 Functional switching (control)
48 463.1 General
49 463.1.1 A functional switching device shall be provided for each part of a circuit which may
50 require to be controlled independently of other parts of the installation.
51 463.1.2 Functional switching devices need not necessarily switch off all live conductors of a
52 circuit. A single-pole switching device shall not be placed in the neutral conductor except for
53 lamp control circu
