(a fused spur where you can remove the fuse works unless you're plagued with malicious pixies).


I've yet to see a fused spur that doesn't accept a padlock.

I've yet to see a fused spur that doesn't accept a padlock.

But only on TN systems with main bonding - otherwise (TT or TN without main bonding) then N needs to be isolated too. (That's assuming that you understand the rest of the requirements of 461.2 (I still don't) and your TN system complies.)

I have livened this sort up with a pair of compasses (using my handkerchief as basic insulation) when the holder had been removed to disable something.

  I was at school at the time, and we wanted to get the 5A socket on to power a 2kw heater in the maths class.

It maybe that most of modern youth are less gung-ho than we were , but I'm not sure that all are.

Did you distill (sic ) hooch (possibly only a rap on the knuckles nowadays) or make explosives (lock up and throw away the key in 2019!)?

I will answer carefully so I do not incriminate myself too much.

Not to drink, and oh yes.

Actually I was part of a group that decided it would be  bit of a laugh to put some home made gun cotton into one of the ashtrays in the 6th form common room... as you do.

That would not be possible today , not least as they would not be allowed to smoke indoors, nor would the reaction to a bit of " flash and pop"  and handful of flying dog-ends be little more than suppressed laughter and rolling of eyes. In some ways I am a child of my time - although I do intend to grow up at some point,  in the current job it is not fortunately essential to be a perfect conformist.

I think that BOD was saying that if you unscrew and pull out the fuse tray, you can pop in a lock-out padlock.
