Consumer Unit Installation

Rammie · Sep 14, 2009

Got my first request to install a replacement CU today but there is no company isolator on the tails so what is the correct way of isolating the incoming supply through the tails to the board please?

Thanks
Rammie

The steepest learning curve of my life!

Use the Electricty at Work Regulations as your defence. The work was necessary, EAWR state I must not work live, ergo, I took the fuse out.

Are you registered under part p?
southern electric now allow registered sparks to pull fuse (they also give out free seals) wont be long before others follow suit.

Thats correct about SSE Info is here (PDF)Removal Of Fuses

There was a working party set up by DCUSA, with a view to getting an agreement for DNO's to allow outside competant persons, with additional training, to withdraw and replace service fuses. However according to the ESC the proposer (EDF energy) has now withdrawn the proposal due to lack of widespread support from the industry ie. suppliers, distributors and meter operators. No surprise there then

ESC switched on article.http://www.esc.org.uk/pdfs/business-and-community/SwitchedOn-Issue-16.pdf

Cheers EDF!!
