Hi, anyone had the pleasure of having the DNO fit an isolator between the cutout and the consumer unit? I'd be grateful to hear of the costs involved
and the amount of time it takes them to sort it. As we all know, only the DNO can pull the bomb so i'm curious as to costs of an isolator. While i'm at it, anyone aware of problems with the smart meters shutting down if the main bomb is pulled, just curious obviously.

The new smart meter logs any time it loses power and for how long so if someone starts to fiddle it it brings up when it lost power and for how long,and I would assume they keep a record of power cuts in each area so they can check against these lists if they think someones been at it.

I think you'll all be surprised just how little these new DNO's do actually record. Your more likely find how many records they have actually ''lost'' or mislaid since taking over from the old regional boards, who's records were pretty good!! lol!!

Why on earth would someone make a video like this?! And I love the way he's not using an insulated screwdriver and is poking it around the terminals! :D

Who knows? Perhaps he owns the company whose label is stuck on the front of the meter and it's a little extra publicity. I wouldn't employ him to do any wiring for me though.

I think I'll make a video showing round my oven. "Here we have the temperature control dial; moving the pointer in a clockwise direction increases the temperature in the oven to that denoted by these numbers around the outside, ha! which of course are in celsius. Next we have a blank where on another model there would be the grill control..."

and if you ever come across an install that still has the old VOELCB in place.....dont forget that that will serve perfectly well as an iso as well once the earthing has been disconnected from it.....so dont necessarily bin em if you are upgrading...keep em in circuit (tails).....do nicely as an iso and as it was originally designed to break fault...well, it just gets better n better...
