Main EB fuse, Do we need to inform ??

[castlon11]

I heard that the Elecricity Board needs to be notified when removing the main fuse to change a CU, is this true or just when you have to cut the seals? as i knew it was their property but i've never known anyone to do this before ?

most people just pull it mate

Just cut it mate, I always have and upto now had no problems, I've even been about when they have come out to connect new tails into the meter and they re-seal the fuse.

How do you remove the cut out fuse without cutting seals

What do you know?...I cant see any seals on it!! (not from here anyway)

Just get them to fit a double pole isolator.These should be fitted on all properties and causes less hassle in the future.The companies all charge enough for electricity as it is,problem sorted

Ian, You can remove when no seals are present on arrival.
Nice answer Mac that makes sence !!!

Personally, I just cut them and get the customer to ring up after. The one time I did ring them to arrange it, I was just told to cut it myself and ring up when it was done.
Recently they've all asked to see the test sheet before they'll re-tag, so just make sure that's ready for them.
