DNO Isolation of supply cable.
Former Community Member
After watching a YouTube video in which the DNO was moving the customers service head and they had to join the new cable to the old lead sheathed supply cable, I was wondering how the DNO isolates the old lead sheathed supply cable so they can connect the new cable to it?
Might I ask for a linky to said video? I love watching DNO jointers at work... the calmness and skill is amazing. And the PPE is expensive and wonderful to behold.
On the prickly subject of working live, assuming a risk assessment has deemed it necessary, what PPE do other members adopt?
I have 1kv gloves, protectors, a face shield, and an ex fire brigade jacket. Along with ear defenders etc if it's in a confined space near the service head. Obviously I don't bother with anything more than the face shield and gloves/protectors if working on a relatively low fault capacity circuit.
