How do you remove these to kill the bus bar chamber

 

[westward10]

Is that a DNO service head.

using the safe isolation procedure. ?

using the safe isolation procedure. ?

That’s the problem.

 

[Bean83]

Yes it is . Do you know how to safely get them fuses out as we need to disconnect all outgoing supplies from the bus bar.

 

[westward10]

If that is a DNO service head replace the cover and consult the supply company. Aside from being dangerous you should not be interfering with it.

 

[Darkwood]

If that is the DNO service head then opening it is illegal, you cannot interfere with it and must contact the DNO to isolate it.

Looks straight forward to me, but you answered Yes to Westward's question so as above, it's not for you to touch.

You'll be horrified with the procedure the DNO will go to to cut the power to that.

I would have said when you see what the DNO do, but they won't let you be in sight of it when they they're working on it.

And there's a fair old bit of bare copper hiding in there...

Thanks for wasting my time with something I already know. I was told it would be helpful on here but obviously it’s just full of electricians with a electrician forum hobby.

 

[westward10]

It feeds a busbar with no intermediate switching from the head to the busbar?

If you already know then why are to contemplating removing the fuses.

If your asking us this question and don't know what your doing you should never have contemplated opening it in the first place.
