Fused neutrals...

Attended a no supply at a commercial site today. L/lord is responsible for the risers and laterals supplying a total of six offices ( three floors x 2 offices). The conductors and switchgear appear to be original to the building ceramic fuseways with asbestos flash pads, but fused on the neutrals too. Risers and laterals are vir. Now, to get the one office back on supply I’ll have to run new laterals, but it means using the fused neutral until the landlord agrees to switchgear upgrade.

So question is, would you agree to carry out the “temporary” connection with a fused neutral in the equation?

TIA

  • The neutral looks to be wired in 30a fuse wire, the line in something more substantial!



    Ah, sounds like one of broadgage's muppets has already been in attendance then...
