disconnecting electric heater

[leeweimaraner]

I noticed a electric heater had been disconnected from an unswitched fuse spur but the cable hasent been disconected from the spur,just cut flush with the bottom of spur,the fuse has been removed from the spur what you guys reckon bad practice or illegal ????the cable at the bottom of spur is a 3 core flex.

i wouldnt do it, most dangerous!!, only takes someone to put the fuse back in and hey presto....a 230v wall mounted cattle prod

Shoddy and nasty. Doesn't take long to disconnet the flex from the spur.

Bad practice. Very lazy and potentially dangerous.

Hi,

remove the cable out of the fused spur asap

even with the fuse out what are the potential hazards?? is there a double pole device built in to a non switched fused spur when you remove fuse ? i seen this this week and potentially there are thousands of these within the uk with the cable left in ?? I may have to follow this up ???
