Hi proffessionals,
I'm in need of help once again please.

Ii understand there is a ongoing discussion ( although one sided) about pulling the supplier fuse. I need to do this to change the CU on my next job but I have never done it or seen it be done before and need some advice or video if possible.
The fuse housing isn't even normal, it's a metal housing,
I would upload a pic but I don't think I can on here,
 
if you are not confident about pulling the fuse... don't. especially if it's an old head. call DNO to arrange fitting a D/P isolator and , if necessary, replacing the service head.
 
If its a metal housing i would definitely get the dno to sort it out, not that you should pull them anyway.
 
This is a rediculous thread.

You are asking members to video themselves technically breaking the law and then e-mail it to you.


My advice, contact the DNO to come out and view the service, which they may upgrade for free, and arrange for the fitting of a supply isolator, end of!
 
turn your cu off take the sticker/seal off fuse, pull it..simples, everyone does it,illegal? not as illegal in how much they charge the working man for electricity..
 
why,it happens all the time

FFS just because some people do it all the time it doesn't make it right nor legal. If you're going to give the OP such looney advice how about telling him to wear appropriate PPE to protect himself, or do you not bother either

the op could,and i say could be a spark with years in,but while some bend over backwards to give john from accounts all the info he needs to be a spark in 5 mins,i wont deny sparks of whatever ability pull the fuse for whatever reason they need too..like we dont work live,like we dont pull fuses in old db's when needeed and plug them back in live because we have too..it happens,but being competent we do..
 
Isn't pulling DNO fuses covered in DIY literature?
I don't think that's the issue here mate, after all dig deep enough on the net and you can find out how to build all sorts of dangerous and illegal devices.
 
Pulling the fuse is the easy part! Now putting it back in................................if you have done something stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BAAAAANNNNNGGGGG.
 
NO, no and thrice no. Not on my watch.
 
I have no idea what you are all going on about, all the fuses on my jobs are out when I get there ;)
I think I have a fairy DNO godmother :)

But yes not a good idea to advise him to pull the fuse if he's not confident, mind you it's only a fuse :) and a baby one at that :p
