UK Power Networks, hot working

Not sure if I’ve asked this before on this forum, can’t find how to search my posts. 


When UK Power Networks are replacing an underground service head cable, do they work on it live and if so how, I think saw a video on how they do it, but can’t remember.  Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Not UKPN area, but in SSE territory where we work, when a service head replacement was needed, they did as described above, cut the service out live from a pit outside the house, but then TNC-S'd it (PME) because that's the policy in that area because of deteriorating u/g cables, and replaced it with a bit of cu/al concentric to the new cutout. Ze improved remarkably
