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 had a similar situation as you John. In a house I got under the corner stairs to investigate non bonding and turned around to see a chinaman sat crossed legged in with me (he`d followed me straight in!) . I am not kidding

    I don't know if John and ever are messing with us  but I do remember doing a dB replacement and felt something warm and soft   touch my leg I looked down to see a rat  fortunately it was a pet that the owner let out for  exercise

    No I am actually serious about that Chinaman

    Not the same misplaced Chinaman featured in the film “Remains of the Day” I suppose?

    Don't forget to count the cats before you nail the floorboards back down.

    I can assure you that I am not pulling your leg. First time ever I used the words, "Lion, Elephant, Rhino and  Giraffe in an electrical report. Also one of the very few decent installations I have seen for a log time. Can't say where for client confidentiality reasons.
