60A Main fuse & NIC assesment?

[DurhamSparky]

nothing in our regulations states that it is illegal

the fact there is a big sticker on the fuse with NEEB / NEDL (or what ever area your in)property and tampering with this equiptment may result in prosecution or words to that effect

 

[telectrix]

seen a fuse with warning printed in German it said " Gerfingerpokin Verboten"

 

[DurhamSparky]

hahahahaha! i resealed a few seals with Mr Electric stickers!! oops!

 

[CRAIGNEWHAM]

This is honest! there were no seals on the fuse! so did check and its 60A.

JohnnyG, are you with the NIC?

Kenny, yeah 2 bedroom house

 

[telectrix]

amazing how these seals seem to drop off conveniently just before we staret a job.

 

[Johnny-G]

JohnnyG, are you with the NIC?

Nope, Elecsa.
If you have any questions about your upcoming assessment then NICEIC's helpline should really be your first port of call.
If you go with whatever they say then all your bases are covered

Especially when it's a change of tenant or ownership, very handy indeed.

Ive read in the OSG that I should check what length the meter tails can be and what CSA they should be too; does anyone bother with this?
Cant remember the page number but its near the front?

YES i do! --- covering

 

[CRAIGNEWHAM]

He only brought the flat a in october and it looks like its recently been re-wired, hence possibly why theres no seal.
Johnny G, yeah I'll contact them, but wasnt sure if they would help unless your a current member, which I'm not yet

And this overrules 7671?
What length do they normally allow for meter tails?

 

[DurhamSparky]

OSG is a GUIDE designed to assist you
7671 is the bible!

i have fitted tails that are 25m long!

This is something you need to ask the DNO about as their requirements differ.

 

[CRAIGNEWHAM]

Ok, I'll ring them if need be
Thanks for the info

usually want you to put a KMF (with an 80A fuse) in if the tails are over 2 or 3 metres long. for some reason.
