Re: End of Line Resistor - Are they a standard design?

I'm not familiar with the products in England but it could be that the
end of line resistor is a "listed" item for that particular system or
it may be housed/contained within a special casing or some such. It's
not that the resistor is any different than any other, it's just that
in order to comply with any codes in your area, or remain within the
specifications for the main panel, the installer cannot use a standard
resistor.
