DNO requesting 'test cert'

[GLENNSPARK]

Yeah I do have all the certs but NIC wanted another few hundred quid for basically nothing, so I didn't bother!

Another quick question:
I need to fit a switch fuse in a separate meter box beside the DNO box, how can I pass the tails between boxes? I'm sure the gas meter boxes can't be drilled for pipework, is it the same for us?

Thanks guys for your help

pass the tails out of the bottom of one box....and into the other (same way)...

are these boxes flush mounted?

Surface mounted box, on brick wall. Wasn't keen on exposed DI tails outside the boxes.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Its an existing installation, the DNO have disconnected in the street (due to abstraction), and now they are reinstating the cut out.

Why don't you get them to fit a 100a DP isolator when the reinstate the cut out and this will mean that you don't require to provide dead tests at this point because you will be reconnecting and re-energizing the system not them.

just fly them out of the bottom of one box and up into the other mate...arrange the tails in such a way that they are on the side of the box (inside) next to the other see....then just bank them round and bring them in to the box next to the other one...they wont show much and you dont want to be drilling the side of those boxes..if you can...think water ingress mate....

I don't think they will have that, although it would make my life a lot easier!

They have said they will only connect to a finished electrical installation, with a cert.

No probs, moved to the Inspection and Testing forum.
