Discuss Meter Tails 16mm 0r 25mm in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
quite right haj, exact wording isThanks guys i quoted OSG it says SHOULD be 25mm not must be 25mm he says leave them alone i think change them.
hi i assume that it was a house you went to so has to be 25mm .also double insulated hope this helps.Talking with a collegue today regarding meter tails.I went to look at a c/u change 80A main head on 16mm Tails i said should be 25mm but he said 16mm was ok 25mm for 100A main head. Whats the word out there with you good men ?
Cheers
Just do it.Pull the fuse.Who says there was a seal on the cut out anywayDo you get leb in to pull fuse or are we aloud to disconnect from there meter
Peter if you are in any dout as to weather to remove the suppliers cut out. dont be. Basicly the electricity at work act says that every installation has to be provided with a means of isolation for safe working. So if the supllier has provided a means of isolation ie a swich or the meter with a built in isolator (not designed to be switch under load) then all is fine but if they have only provided a cut out and meter then they can not argue why you have cut their seal and removed the fuse. what do they expect you to change the tails LIVE!?????Do you get leb in to pull fuse or are we aloud to disconnect from there meter
what do they expect you to change the tails LIVE!?????
im with you aj, ive tried to go the proper route far too many times, at my expenseYes in an ideal world, but its just not reasonalbe practicable is it. so you are a good boy and phone them every time you want to change some tails and you sit around waiting for them to pop out and do it for you. Don't think you would win many jobs if you are chargeing on the costs??. They have obvsioly seen a problem with the old units and thats why now they install either a swicth or the meter with the isolator built in.
Many Thanks
AJ
You are supposed to get them to pull the fuse (its their equipment) but i always do it my self problems start at the main fuse if youre up rating the tails from the meter to the consumer unit then you should also change them from the incomong supply point ( the fused inlet)Probably stating the obvious burt rememmber the meter is wired live neutral neutral live good luck you obviously can't seal the job but to be honest most work i come across the meter is never sealed any way good luck phil S
