On the subject of pulling the DNO fuse.

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.

    Howard,


    Are you able to tell me how many non DNO electricians have been injured pulling fuses in the last 20 years ?

    Are you able to explain why DNO's have operated various schemes throughout the years, including issuing stickers and seals to electricians to enable them to pull fuses, and still do ?

    Are you able to explain why DNO's do not routinely fit isolators to their equipment to enable work to be carried out on installations ?
