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?
I have watched live jointing under my lawn (normally, nobody, but nobody digs holes in my lawn) and in the street. As Mike says, it is done with insulated or non-conducting tools and a lot of skill. They seem to dig quite a big hole, but I am sure that if you can sit on the edge and work comfortably, it must be safer.
