Moved a BT master socket

[rsgaz]

96 is the a.c.voltage to ringbell.

75v AC, 25Hz is the ringing voltage on a 'normal' line. I picked an ISDN line as an extreme example/scenario because it's always -96v DC.

To those who have cut a live BT cable when moving a master, did you ring and slit the cable, then cut the wires individually, or just chop the cable with your regular wire cutters/shears, thereby causing a split second short circuit at the exchange?



Touch an old ISDN line at -96v DC and then tell me it's very low risk!! Believe me, it's not pleasant!!

Not "many" people will have an ISDN line at home and when moving a master socket treat it the same as a live cable, cut very carefully or remove the ends from the socket and tape up until you re krone.

Your judgement being you can alter something you have no right to interfere with.
