Discuss removal of main cutout fuse! in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
that won't cause a loss of power to the meter , though.
i disagree fin170 how is it no more dangerous than pulling the fuse (waving a live tail around trimming it and then putting it into lucy blocks).
Anyone know specifically what law is being broken by pulling the fuse?
how many more times...THEY WONT!!....the DNOs stand to lose monay.....and thats how it is....Keeping the meter live was the point if they're intending to run around fining people for trying to do their jobs safely. True you'll be pulling the live tail (to the cu) out of the meter, but with no load on it I don't see it any more dangerous than pulling the main fuse.
Still keeping my fingers crossed they'll be putting built in isolators onto smart meters like various people say they will and then we won't be having this issue.
....For now, at least.....how many more times...THEY WONT!!....the DNOs stand to lose monay.....and thats how it is....
Exactly right, we were taught to quote the "Electricity supply act 1921", personally, I remove seals by cutting one wire, do the work, replace the cutout and reseal with the original seal and a quick twist, I have never been challenged in 40 years!, never removed the fuse and replaced the carrier for safety, but I agree with the above poster that a stray cpc going into the unprotected cutout could be.....................................interesting.Question..as a consumer does the DNO provide me with a means to isolate an electrical source that they supply to me in the event that my equipment AKA the CU bursts in to flames ? yes they do a fkn big fuse lol, so my defence is.." I saw smoke coming from my CU, and in the absence of an isolating device to disconnect your equipment from mine I had no choice but to remove your cut out fuse"
