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.

    SSE policy on issueing temporary seals to agreed 3rd parties may be worth a read.

    As an approach it seems very sensible and proportionate. Some key sections other DNOs could emulate, formalising what is and is not acceptable, and who is responsible. . . 



     




    I look upon it differently. It is interesting that SSE are the only company that allow non-authorised people to interfere with their cutouts. I wonder how they square that with their liability insurance.
