On the subject of pulling the DNO fuse.

alanblaby
There have been a couple of reports here of the DNO confronting electricians who have pulled their fuse.


It's getting closer to home, a work colleague was doing a CU change on a domestic house last week, no isolator fitted, so he pulled the fuse (no seals present).

South Nottinghamshire.


Around 90 minutes later there was a knock on the door, a guy from Western Power was investigating a power loss at the property, reported by the Smart Meter phoning home.

He gave the sparky a talking to, and warned they are getting strict in pursuing people who do it, he said meter fiddling was rife, so any loss of power is checked out asap.

    I have set of fire retardant overalls for entering transformer enclosures plus the other kit including the 1000V marigolds.

    The RAF flying overalls I think were Nomex or similar and at one time a warning went out about wearing nylon watch straps.  I pointed this out to a Truck driver in the mess one evening who snapped back that it was his issue aircrew watch and he was wearing nylon issue socks.  The RAF issues very nice white kid leather gloves that have to be worn when flying for fire protection. On the odd flight I was issued with a pair and all the other kit but had to hand it all back when I had finished but never had the opportunity to blag a pair of the nice gloves.
