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?
Many years ago I asked a chap from from the Yorkshire Electricity Board (as was) how on earth would they safely splice the supply cable in my front garden while working live. His reply was: "Mr Wombat, the official answer is that our procedures and protective equipment are such that it can always be done safely. Unofficially between you and me, it makes a hell of a bang."
