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?
On the prickly subject of working live, assuming a risk assessment has deemed it necessary, what PPE do other members adopt?
Not quite answering the question, but I don't work live. R14 of EWR 1989.
I suppose that it is reasonable for jointers to work live given their methods and the inconvenience of cutting off a whole street or two.
When I have seen DNO personnel working, PPE has been conspicuous by its absence. The only exception was a meter fitter, but he was having his 6-monthly assessment.
