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.

    Almost new fuse holder secured to a board which is in good condition and is easily accessible. Not a lot of danger.


    Old service head on a tatty old board with multiple redundant screw holes in a damp poorly lit cellar. That's when you need to get out your arc shield and marigolds.


    I think that you have to have one clear rule and "don't touch" is easiest. Or you could, like SSE, trust properly credentialed electricians.
