OP
Geordie Spark
Personally i don't mind working live if its safe to do so.
E.g. i always use vde drivers anyway but ill be extra careful or use vde pliers and long nose as well.
Ill only do this on single phase though.
An interesting reply, but you failed to answer my question which is why do you think I am the only person who doesn't safely isolate the supply? (your post #22)
Now another question for you: Have you ever considered a career in politics?
