Fuse Holder

Question from a non-electrician, so excuse my ignorance.  The main fuse holder in my house has just been updated to a new one, owing to my existing one being about fifty years old.  How is this done with the incoming cable still live?

  • Good question Robin, welcome. Others here will be able to answer you better than me. But a few years back we had a couple of older fellas come round to change the fuseholder high up in the front hall. They couldn't remove the old plastic head, so they burnt it off with a blowtorch and then were able to fit the new one, all done live.
