main cut out fuse

[lawmanxe]

How do you pull out the fuse your self, I've phoned for permission to cut seal and got refused by dno and then went to the supplier they said I can as long as I test and leave certificate for them I'm really confused about changing a consumer unit and pulling the fuse. Help would be very greatful.

Perhaps they follow the strict guidelines, for removing them.

Not really, fill out the permit to work, what we need to isolate etc..then go off and do it!

Ze irrelevant, it may be a TT system, remember I said 16Ka+ .You do the maths?

[stuartcourt]

If it wasn't dangerous why should DNO engineer's wear IR gloves, gauntlets, full face protection and flame retardant clothing.

Don't recognize that football team.

I've found that once the first Marigold has permanently welded itself to ones hand, any further flash burns have very little effect. You get used to that rubbery smell.

Most of the WPD lads around here wear 501's and a smile. Raybans for hot days only.

We'll all be tripping up over garage forecourts next week - best be banning those pesky kerbs and not minding when the alarm goes off.

60-100amps will f$*k you up!

isn't 30milliamp the upper limit of safe!

work safe, sensibly, use your skills/knowledge/training as you would always when working with electricity.

I supply my guys eye protection for when they clip cables, as yet no one has worn them for this, not because it cant happen but how unlikely, but if someone loses an eye not my fault I supplied eye protection
