removal of main cutout fuse!

[HappyHippyDad]

Just giving an update on this thread..

Not much to say, but I contacted the DNO to fit an isolater..

Only had to speak to two people before speaking to the right person, which is ok.

Chap came out within 1 week to assess what needed doing and said he'd been given 2 quotes.. £45 and £80. Said he'd organise it and call me back.

Left it for another week, nothing heard, so I gave them a little push and someone is coming out this wednesday to fit the isolater for £65.

I'll let you know if they turn up :teeth_smile:

Just thought I should close this thread properly by giving an ending.

The chap turned up and fitted the isolater, simple.

Quite interesting seeing him remove the cut out though. He just pulled it out, no gloves, no checks, just pulled it out.

Now I can get on with my first CU change!

Signed. Not a problem for me in south west. Just collect the stickers and ring through to DNO

I have never seen them use PPE either. It's always available, but doesn't seem to get worn...

Here's the link again (the one above didn't work): Allow electricians to lawfully remove distributors fuses. - e-petitions

This benefits the industry. If the scheme operators are serious, they will publish this to all their members and request them to consider and sign.

signed mate for what use it may do would make life easier

Signed it.

The weasels in parliament are very switched on to people power in numbers, especially when the press get involved or if it could mean their jobs are at risk!

Apathy is the death of all progress, so if you can't be arsed signing the petition, then don't complain ever again about this predicament we electricians are faced with!

This is a great idea. I don't know how many members this forum has, but if everyone signed the petition it would certainly help.
