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!
