It just illustrates the farce!

Competent persons not allowed to isolate the load and remove the fuse, pathetic!

The scheme providers should really be pushing this one, it affects all of us!
 
I shall be bringing this up with the ESC at harrogate also the fact that a good majority of thier cutouts are labled 100 amp when we know dam well its 60 or 80 amp so why cant they lable as we have to !!
