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.
Which ponders the question "Must Live Line Working" be done in pairs nowadays?"
