Discuss Pulling the Main Fuse (Poll) in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Close my eyes and put my fingers in my earsWell I thought this had been done to death but seems people still had a lot to get off their chest. Interesting poll result, but not shocked by it. I suppose the poll options I forgot to add were PPE when pulling the fuse - who wears it, who doesn't? If you do, what do you wear?
Normally use my safety shoes not my slippers, but get your point.Stand on something insulating if on a damp concrete floor in a cellar. Daz

60A rewiresble -- common up till the 70's. :mkungfu:
and with them red spots, you never know if there;s a load on when you pull it. we used to have guessing games on guessing the size of the load according to the strength of the spark.It's only a bloody 100A fuse at the end of the day.
I certainly wouldn't hesitate in pulling one to make sure it was safe for me to work, absolutely no need for any form of live work in a domestic situation.
Make sure the carrier is in good condition, take the load off it. Pull it out. You can even insert the carrier without the fuse if you're worried about the little bit of live copper at the bottom.
How many have worked in the large Bill/Red Spot boards, you wouldn't worry about pulling a fuse there to make it safe to work? These will also most likely have larger fault currents behind them too.
where are the overgloves for mechanical protection? That is NOT the correct way
