Safe Disconnection to Undertake Work.

Zoomup
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.

    I would be inclined to remove the trunking lid VERY gently and whilst wearing leather gloves, a full face visor, and a flame resistant overall coat. AFTER explaining to the customer what might go wrong, and that you are not replacing it all FOC if it all goes orribly wrong.


    Yes, that may be necessary. My customer is only a tenant. He seems reluctant to speak to the owner of the installation. Just a feeling I have.
