Hello,

Is it possible to turn off this ESB main switch? Is there a defeat mechanism that I'm not seeing? The ON/OFF switch on the front doesn't appear to rotate freely and I don't want to force it.

You need an Allen key that slots into the center

Why????

If you want to turn your power off then turn it off at the main breaker on your fuse board

It’s that simple alright. The green plastic bit needs to be pushed in as per photo

only a rec is permitted to work on a distribution board

You aren't authorised to switch that unit. Get a RECi

Ya it's anti clockwise to isolate with an allen key as said

Prob be a rec back anyhow in 6 months time after the DIY replacement
