Q & A
Question: I work as maintenance electrician at a university. In a ground floor cafeteria area where students and staff take rest periods, there are two air-conditioning plants fitted in the false ceiling to supply air to the open area. There is a fused double-pole switch adjacent to each air-conditioning unit. We have had occasions where the units have been switched off by people other than staff. My question is, can I change the double-pole switches with single-phase non-switched fused spur outlets so that the units cannot be switched off?
