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.

  • If this proposal goes ahead then the big MCB will effectively double as an isolator switch.



     



    only if it's not sealed ... from what I've heard from Spain if the 'load limiting' MCB trips than the householder is obliged to call out the supplier to re-set and re-seal (and pay a penalty charge) - it's not user (or elecctrician) accessible.
