[QUOTE="phil d, post: 505389, member: 27126"] if you are lucky then the house has an old metal service head, in which case you notify DNO as they have a policy of changing them, be there when they come out to replace it and they will connect up your isolator FOC, had one recently and the engineer even offered to give us an isolator! A lot of the time if I'm doing anything that needs the main isolating I pull the fuse myself, just don't touch the meter seal, they are not as bothered about the service fuse seal as the meter seal, I was actually told this by a senior DNO engineer. When it's done I have seals to reseal it, a lot of the time there isn't a problem, only had one and the cutout had overheated at some point, I got the fuse out safely enough, but it wouldn't go back in, DNO came out and were fine about it, I'd found a fault for them, round here as long as you know what you are doing they don't really get upset, to be honest they get more upset about meter monkeys not tightening up connections properly.
