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.

  • So let's see if I understand correctly you can't switch any of the switches off because it will disconnect the farmers equipment?  OK so why not arrange withe the farmer to turn power off at an agreed time after all if you agree it with him it can be arranged to not interfere with milking etc. I understand the switchgear in the shed is a bit mingy which makes it difficult you'll find a way though
