The question is what would be better the possibilty of someone coming to harm from the result of reverse polarity or someones seals being removed to prevent such a hazard and correcting the issues after exhausting all the possible avenues to contact the supplier,common sense should prevail in the end.

Yes I do. Got the seals from ebay, but have a die for my crimper with a middle finger on it LOL

Could you not reverse the tails in the cu so as to correct the reverse polarity for the short term and swap them back when the DNO are there??

I haven't seen the original post from the original thread so if I have just repeated something or am missing the point I appologuise in advance

 

[DurhamSparky]

what you are suggesting is dangerous!!!

working live is against all things HSE preech about!

Builders break seal all the time when they replace CU's and they never get caught or sued.

Sorry I think I would have pulled the main fuse and rectified the problem

Il repost my opinions and experience from a legal point, if the premises is in danger or persons on the premises and you have no means to rectify the danger other than to cut the seals and remove the fuse then you can do so, this will only arise in situations where main switch is shorting, tails are exposed and dangerous, water is causing dist'board problems and safer not to touch it etc etc, with regards to reversed polarity as mentioned in a few threads it isnt an excuse to cut the seals as the double pole customer main switch will make it safe and if needed the DNO can be called out to rectify it, ive cut the seals 3 times and got DNO in and everytime they questioned me fully but accepted i did the right course of action, so to re-iterate if turning the power off by the main switch will stop any hazard you are dealingwith then you have no legal ground to break the seals.
