    Callout to arcing supplier fuse

    Spot on mate! Been to one similar a couple of years ago. Surprisingly working for the board, when doing cut out changes, it is amazing to find a 40 amp fuse present in the cut out.

    Cost of moving supply intake position

    Have you got concrete floors? This is classed as a service alteration and can be expensive, depending on where it's to be moved. What is the supply cable? Proberly a pilc( paper insulated lead sheared cable, TN-S.) The earth is usually clamped onto the lead cable. If it's a vir, Vulcanized...

    What is SSE like to work for, meter fitter?

    okay, so are you working late every day, have you got to work evenings and weekends. So would you recommend them as a good company. Well if it's better than house bashing, then it must be okay. Sick of lifting floors boards. Ha, ha.

    What is SSE like to work for, meter fitter?

    Do they give you one area, so there all in the same town, or are you all over the place, like me for the board could be doing a job and the next could be 10 to 30 miles away?

    What is SSE like to work for, meter fitter?

    Cheers Dave, but how many meters do they expect you to fit per day. Is it a realistic target?

    Was wondering if anyone knows anyone working for SSE in the Newcastle area or else where. Is it okay as an employer are do they expect the earth from you, with regards to high targets for fitting smart meters? Cheers.

    Is this an acceptable means of earthing ?

    Yep, an M.E.T, in other words a Main earth terminal.if the ze is okay, but it is properly connected to the possible pilc cable next door? I've seen a few like this.

    Is this an acceptable means of earthing ?

    It is terminated in the bottom of the neutral block, not at the head, like we see most of the time. We have terminated a load like that. But will have to verify that it definetly the case.

    Is this an acceptable means of earthing ?

    I work for the board, and cables like that ran in conduit are usually VIR or like someone on here has said flat lead , possibly. Usually the conduit runs next door, where their cable will be fed from there cut out. Maybe next-door has a pilc cable and they have took an earth from the pilc to the...

    Pulling the Main Fuse (Poll)

    Well, I have come across a few fuses before, where they have been stuck due to arcing or pitch on contacts, preventing the carrier being extracted. So be carefully! But yeah, meter fitters pull them every day.

    Pulling the Main Fuse (Poll)

    I work for the board, your not supposed to pull the main fuse. But if there is no double pole present to isolate, what do you do. I have never known any board members going out pull a mains fuse so the sparky can do his work? I have caught a couple of sparkies over the years, doing this, but...

    Any other ideas?

    Adams idea is best, get some plastic Trunking with the sticky tape backing. Large enough to cover the conduit aswell. Added protection, but still consider all factors though for enclosed cables as per BS7671 thermal effects on enclosed cables.
