All the DCUSA has a working group on the matter of letting non supply companies remove the fuse.

and ask them to keep you informed.

I have the latest version of this but it is too big to upload (39kB) so not that large if anyone wants it.

As ive said its our meter tails from their meter ! if they dont fit an isolator free as they should their in the wrong ! their stopping us touch our meter tails ! im ex S.E.B. meter engineer and when i rang metering had my old work mate answer he said as always just pull it you know what your doing and got/had the licence ! and ive pulled thousands of multiphase cutout fuses so know the dangers and have the PPE still ! even then when i rang another number and they said they would come around and pull/reseal it but that was 2mths ago !!!!!! lucky enough i also know all meter recert engineers in south and have most numbers so one call and i have a recert mate here in less than an hour anyway if needed ! if they cant sort this prob for contractors alot sooner then what choice do we have anyway ? how can you say to people yep i will be back in 2,3,4,5 mths etc when the DNO have been around ? i used to help people out and fit isolation meters ! works like a charm ! this should all be free ! at last yrs meeting S.E.B. said in 1st quarter they made £168 billion proffit ! and they put prices up !!!!!! as ive said i pull cutout fuses out but its up to you as ive got thousands of seals etc its your choice ! the amount of us that reported the unauthorized removal of cutout fuses and left unsealed and S.E.B.s response is DONT WORRY ABOUT IT !!!! it takes to much time/expence up chasing these things so just reseal them !!!!!!!!! as long as there isnt bypassed meters etc they dont care ! so be carefull when you wire the bypass CU that its from the meter and NOT the cutout just in case the meter reader sticks his head around the corner as YOU may not know them !
