Meter crimping tool/tags

[deadmanlufc]

Looking to buy a crimping tool fr re-crimping tags on a meter, only ones i can find are the round crimps which surely the suppliers dont even use ? Anyone have any ideas on whats the best way or where to buy a decent set with the flat tags in ?

Cheers

If you are allowed to do it they will give you them for free.

You cant buy these tools, the DNO issue them to their operatives only as they are all recorded with each meter chap having his own unique number.

You can buy temporary seals on flea bay but only the DNO can fully re-seal a meter.

If the DNO is Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution a special proceedures are available to NICEIC, ECA/ELECSA, SELECT and NAPIT registered electricians (and other qualified electricians in an emergency with prior approval) allowing the cutting and resealing of DNO equipment.

At least one supplier has a bit of common sense about them.

i was talking to SSE a few days ago and got told you didn't even need to reseal. "just phone and tells us you are removing them before hand and we will re-seal next time I we are there" was the message.

I know that I have said this before, but a guy from EON told me that if you get to a meter and it is in a dangerous condition (insert reason here), you can cut the seal to remove the fuse and "make it safe". Then give them a ring and they will reseal it.
