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.

    I have a street full of these. The cutout is in a cast box on the wall outside with tails split to two houses at a time in T&E up the wall into the house for about 8 metres to the fuse - BS88 1939 60A.  Upgrading was supposed to happen a few years ago but nothing materialised.
