UK Power Networks, hot working

Former Community Member

Evening guys


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.

    Although not a video, there is a very good blow by blow picture book tutorial in

    The UKPN jointer's handbook.

    It is big, because of the pics, and you need to subscribe and verify your Email adress to download it, in about 5 parts.

    Then do an all category search, for "LV" only works if you are logged in.

    I presume your interest in insulated hacksaws, core separating wedges etc is academic! Do not be tempted to do anything silly.


    Round here they can replace a cut out onto live ends, but if the cut out position needs to be be moved, or there is reason to suspect asbestos in the cut out, or the end of the cable is damaged or too short, then the standard method is to cut outdoors and bring a new tail in - any join nearly always has to be outdoors as the joint is about 2 ft long and 4 inches in diameter.
