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?

    Many years ago I got Yorkshire Electricity Board (as then was) to move the service head at Wombat Mansions. This involved digging up the PILC cable in the front garden and cutting and splicing it. When I enquired to the foreman how they managed to safely do that live, he replied "Well Mr Wombat, officially our procedures are such that it can always be done safely without any risk of injury. Unofficially ... it makes a hell of a bang."
