[QUOTE="sirsparkabit, post: 538027, member: 175"] Certain older fuse carriers and those that still have fused neutrals (plenty out there) They are not allowed to work on . These get notifed by code according to the condition / type to the DNO so they can be updated ,in flats can also be a BNO building network operator involved . If you do have 2 flats on same fuse engineer would have to ensure the other flat owner was ok with power going off due to medical devices ect . Most engineers have fuse finders in their vans . Usually most fuses are marked somewhere if you have a good look 😉. This engineer certainly does not have an electrical background or didn't explain how things work to you. Probably another of those who just get forced to go from job to job with too many appointments and not enough time to do the job safely or properly so was looking for excuses to abort your job and lessen his workload . There have been many occasions of supervisors telling engineers they cannot abort jobs without being onsite themselves to ascertain the risk ! . As to the gas ecv "what a numpty" [/QUOTE]
