Re: FD10 Filter Question

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

They are complete consumer units,,,have both 60amp and 100amp mains
switches for them.

I was going to use the 60 amp ones, as the FD10 is rated at 63amp
maximum, but if I go for the bigger one, then I might put the 100amp
ones in.

Does that all sound ok, and safe ?

thanks
