[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 253745, member: 1607"] Welcome to the forum. There was an industry review of authorising non DNO persons to remove cut-out fuses during 2011, the conclusion was a firm negative. The problem is referred to in this ESC smart meter article. [URL="http://www.esc.org.uk/industry/news-and-campaigns/press-releases/news/article/esc-smart-meter-safety-challenge/"]ESC Smart Meter Safety Challenge : Electrical Safety Council[/URL] Some DNO's do allow special permission for qualified electricians to undertake a fuse removal. But as a general rule this is the exception not the norm. It is not unknown for a fuse carrier to be damaged giving risk to electric shock, arcing or sparking at the point of removal. It would not be wise to consider removal of any fuse carrier without appropriate PPE, gauntlets, face guard etc. This topic has been discussed numerous times on the forum and there are plenty of old threads discussing all sides of the debate.
