So, anonymous poll - who pulls the main fuse when required (ie CU change) and who get's the DNO/supplier/whoever in to sort it?
 
you only need to get your heated curlers a bit looseand your hair could catch fire. a tin hat will contain that fire so that it's just your brain that gets fried. then you can retrain as a plumber.
 
It's only a bloody 100A fuse at the end of the day.

I certainly wouldn't hesitate in pulling one to make sure it was safe for me to work, absolutely no need for any form of live work in a domestic situation.

Make sure the carrier is in good condition, take the load off it. Pull it out. You can even insert the carrier without the fuse if you're worried about the little bit of live copper at the bottom.

How many have worked in the large Bill/Red Spot boards, you wouldn't worry about pulling a fuse there to make it safe to work? These will also most likely have larger fault currents behind them too.

and with them red spots, you never know if there;s a load on when you pull it. we used to have guessing games on guessing the size of the load according to the strength of the spark.
 
These look much more exciting to work with than a domestic cutout:

3phase what ever amp get the seals and lugs of RS or CPC 20 years am doing it. Ring them email them and tell them most of them use the same gear and as for crimper's for every engineer that's a load off horse meat. The meter reader's don't have a clue what there looking at and don't care and the engineers are the same as long as there's no dodgy stuff going on. Lads work save pull the fuse's the IET & and the Electricity work Act no only in exceptional circumstances. So if can pull the fuse there's no law saying you have work live, do it or sub the job to someone like me lol.
