Hi everyone,

I'm sure this topic has been risen plenty of times.

I'm a qualified electrician and I am going to replace a consumer unit for a relative. I am not registered with NICEIC or NAPIT so will be getting it tested by the council.

Can anyone explain the procedure for removing the main fuse as it is sealed?

I know it will never be checked but would just like to know what everyone does. It's absolutely crazy that a qualified electrician is meant to call western power to remove the seal or replace the seal, especially if they have a business to run!!

Thanks in advance.
 
Gees all this over the same old done to death question,the red THINGY is a protective cap and are available from boddingtons electrical, if you dont want to pull the service fuse then do it the other way,turn of cu so no load on tails get your insulating gloves on and then using insulated cable crops cut the live tail and after stripping back about 20mm of sleeving insert into live on isolator repeat with neutral tail job done,either way if you get it wrong you get hurt or killed but then again if you have to come on a forum and ask how to do it then you shouldn't be doing it anyway .Training and experience are the key things with electricity.
