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.
If I find a cast iron cut out, usually accompanied by a separate fused or linked neutral and both with pitch dripping out of them I steer well clear and get the customer to sort it directly with their supplier. THAT isn't worth the risk.
