Why can’t they all be the same, what’s the rules over there for pulling a fuse to do a board change??
Napit have been trying to get the DNO to agree to let registered sparks pull and temporarily resell a cut out for what seems like years now
Wish it was as simple over here bud I asked if the DNO could put an isolator switch in a couple of months back they said we don’t do that, so my response was how do I perform safe isolation then, they said we’ll get back to you, still waiting!!
cheers for the info
I’ve informed my customer to notify them and arrange the upgrade I’ve now finished on the job, and I’ve noted my recommendations on my certificate to cover my arse
Cheers for confirmation I thought it would be the 3036 but wasn’t sure that covered the incoming cut out as well as a old Wylex board it says in the lid 30 amp but possibly upgraded years back with either a 4” nail or a 60 amp piece of wire :eek::eek:
All these comments about me opening the panel and still no one has actually confirmed my suspicions of what the BS number is and what the rating could be
Customer didn’t have anything the other day when I asked but was getting onto their solicitor to check why no paperwork was available on purchasing the house
I didn’t touch it, as soon as I opened it I saw the asbestos flash mat and the label looked suspiciously like asbestos too took a photo and closed it back up.
I knew straight away it needed replacing because of the fused neutral supply and the bitumen encasing the lower part of the fuse...
If the seal has been cut previously by another person I take a look
If it’s sealed it stays sealed and “unknown” is recorded on certificate, I have been question to why I haven’t noted the info on my assessments in the past
If it’s a modern head unit that says 100amp on the side or has Bs1361...
I opened it because there was no seal on the head unit and no marking on the outside to give me an idea of what the Bs number was
I’ve done nothing illegal, my iCertifi certificate software asks for the Overcurrent Protective Device BS number, type and rating, someone previously has installed...

I’ve already told the customer to get in touch with the DNO I’ve no intensional of touching anything in the head unit I just need to finish my certificate so I can register the installation, there was no seal on the front of the head unit I only opened it up to see what the Bs number was
Hi guys
