[QUOTE="binky, post: 493340, member: 490"] OK, so the fuse carrier says 100A, but in my area it will be fitted with 60A or 80A as standard. I used to follow the law to the letter, that was until the meter guy was 3 days late turning up - fortunately I had 3 days of work on the job. Since then the seal fairy has ruled! I either fit henleys and work live, or inspect the main fuse.... On 2 occasions I have found a bit of wire and no fuse, plus the EAWR says we should minimise risk by not working live, so main fuse gets pulled, inspected and resealed by someone I've never met!!! As for meters, silly sods should fit meters with split covers, but they don't , so to access the customers tails, seal fairy has to appear. It is our legal right/ responsibility to access the customers property. Meter tails between main fuse and meter are not our concern. [/QUOTE]
