    Worrying activities!

    Because it would have provided a safe means of isolation and being installed on the meter load tails would meet the requirements of BS7671.

    Worrying activities!

    In the 20 years I worked contract I have lost count of the number of CUs I have replaced after cut out fires have damaged installations. I don't need to contact the DNO to remove a cut out fuse as I am authorised to do so. Please check the notes applied to 537.1.3 regarding authorisation from...

    Worrying activities!

    I did exactly that, the customer's wiring and earthing arrangements are solely their responsibility beyond the cut out. It may have been best practice to have had an islolator fitted by a competent person before starting the work.

    Worrying activities!

    I had a call out today as the customer reported they had no E7 since their electrician replaced the DB. Looking at the meter I questioned if they ever had E7 as the meter was a single rate 4 wire. "We did have storage heaters but had them took out so the electrician removed the E7 DB, the...

    Electrician Jobs External mains power inside house?

    You may have been wise to have the service supply rerouted and an external flush mount meter box fitted, relocated the meter and then reconnected to your existing DB with new 25mm tails. You will now have a service cable passing internally within the extension and I note from the picture there...

    Came across this yesterday

    Arr, didn't see that until now! Looks like 16mm aluminium tails to the meter so they should have come out and been replaced with 25mm copper, the submain neutral I would have notified as an A07 requiring immediate DNO attendance. I certainly wouldn't have left it like that with my number on the...

    Came across this yesterday

    Although it looks a mess there is no exposed live or neutral on the submain and no Mocopa requirement to notify the DNO. Ze is within specification for a TNS earthing arrange ( <0.8 Ohms) so doubt the DNO would be concerned although a spring connector or crimp would be an improvement on the...

    Came across this yesterday

    The sub main looks very old looking at the wire colours and 10mm, no heat shrink and no 3 finger boot, inadequately clipped, makes me judder to think what the meter end is like. The incoming Smart meter tails should have been upgraded to 25mm when the meter was installed and a double pole...

    builders and there good ideas

    This is not a new property I take it? Upgraded service cable and a 100A cutout should be the cheapest solution......not!

    Tesla Fire, wouldn't want to be trapped in one...

    It would appear that the car stopped in the open section and not within the tunnels at either side which would certainly have made matters a lot worse.

    Success! Meter fitted.

    Meter tails not harmonised, meter load tails stretched, not the best meter install. I never connect customer tails into the load side of the isolator on a new install, ensure the isolator switch has a plastic lockout seal fitted same as the load terminal cover and the required warning notice is...

    R2 testing necessary for an eicr certificate.

    I still can't understand how the supply was isolated unless some very brave idiot decided to open a possibly unearthed metal clad cut out with a more than likely asbestos ridden fuse carrier inside it.

    STRANGE NEUTRAL CURRENT !!!!

    DNOs don't get involved in metering, the likes of Eon and Scottish Power are meter operators.

    Bringing test equipment on a plane

    From previous experience if you have the screwdriver bits and handle they will take either to prevent you putting them together and try to dismantle the plane, test leads will be confiscated as "they could be used to tie up hostages and the sharp pointy bits used to stab someone" The pork pies...

    Deadly Disconnection here in Minorca!

    Presently on holiday in Cala Blanca, Minorca and came across this situation. The meter box is built into a wall outside a now disused restaurant along the pavement, the door is completely missing and the clear plastic cover over the 4 wire cut out has been broken and removed. It would appear...
