LV fuse replacement safety

Kelly Marie Angel

Hi all I know that in this country and possibly in Europe too when DNO faultsmen  are replacing LV fuses in substations and distribution  pillars  they generally wear lots of PPE  sensible in view of  the flash and bang you get if there's still a fault however I saw a video from India  where the guy literally stood on top of the transformer  and put fusewire  a cross the LV terminals where I'm guessing a proper fuse should go  there's no checking contacts  are isolated before putting the wire on. Similar with the HV side the videos by BEEE WORKS  The videos are only a year or 2 old

    I've watched the video again and your right there seems to be lots of bits of old wire left behind  i assume that he was told to get the supply back on as fast as possible this time round although I'm sure that eventually they have to clean up the installation get rid of the old bits (burnt offerings). There is another video of him replacing the HT fuses that's even scarier he's inches from live 11KV  lines with bare feet standing on a metal TX. Finally would anyone like to buy a kitten? The health and safety guy just had a litter
