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?

  • If the trench is shallow, all well and good, but how do you assist somebody who is chest-deep in a trench?


    I take broadgage's point about burns as opposed to shock, but do the vans carry defibrillators?


    The nearest one to where I am sitting right now is at the church hall, which is about 325 m away. In my prime, I could do that in under 1.5 minutes, but allowing for opening the box, I could never have got it back here in under 3 minutes. God knows how long it would take Mrs P if I messed up!
