Then you are in breach of the Electricity at Work Regulations.
cut the meter seal and work safely, OR dont cut the seal and risk electrocutionCorrect sir
But what are the options,mmmmmmm,let me see,ask dno to fit isolator so i can work safe,they might get around to it in 6 months maybe less.
Turn the job down as i cant do it safeley,i think not,.
I cant beleive some of you mamby pamby so called sparks,as long as you know what you are doing whats the problem???????
The dno dont have any right to seal anyones meter tails as they are the customers property,and as for sealing,i got a nice kit off ebay for around ten squid and it was the NIC that recomended it
I allso wear my nice new 10kv marigolds when changing tails live,its amazing what you can get when ya mate works for EON.
Totally agree mate
Hi and welcome to the forumSpot on with that mateDon't guidelines say when replacing a consumer unit you have to replace tails as well? And as you're doing that, you need to cut the seal to the meter to install the new 25mm tails.
I always pull the fuse and change the tails, thereby cutting both seals. A quick call to the leccy company to get the seal replaced and everyone's happy, although generally they're not very interested.
The fuse should not arc at all if the load is isolated.
There are some DNO's that permit registered sparks to pull the cut outs and give seals as a temp until they get round to fitting the correct ones.
Even if the do eventually give permission for us to pull the cut outs, they WILL NOT give us permission to change any tails from the meter.
IMO.
I agree with getting a re-sealiing kit when you join a scheme.
I always have a nagging doubt about leaving stuff un-sealed after i've worked. I spotted these a while ago whilst looking for a meter, the flag ferrules or the square lead ones on this site look really similar. Thinking about getting a kit, what do you reckon ? Security seals and pliers
