Safe Disconnection to Undertake Work.

Scene. An old farm building now used as a double glazing frame maker's workshop.


The supply comes from an old shed about 40 metres away, where the meter is. The old shed has some 70s/80s rusty M.E.M. isolators that feed several S.W.A. cables that exist the shed in many directions underground. I suspect that one feeds the main farmhouse, another a rented cottage and the others various farm buildings. There is no clear labelling of the isolators.


What is the best way to locate the frame maker's  building supply where I have to work?


Somewhere I have a circuit i/d set, if I can find it, but that will need access to the live parts and I do not wish to turn off the wrong isolator.

    Short out the supply in the shed and see which fuse blows? Presumably, you cannot isolate one by one to see?


    Yeh, but I still would not know which fuse had blown as they are hidden behind the M.E.M. isolator doors, and to get to them I would have to turn off to get the door open which may be a different circuit. I can not just turn everything off.
