I know most if not all, DNOs don't like working on metal cutouts and prefer to do a 'dig & cut' externally to isolate before replacing.
Is this also true of the bigger, industrial, cutouts?
A full power down is planned at work. WPD are booked to isolate at 08:00 Sat & re-energise at 12:00 on Sun while the main switch & busbars are replaced. However, the cutout is a 400A three phase metalclad Lucy cutout.... I wondering if the DNO guy is just gonna turn up, take one look at it, whistle through his teeth & walk away.....
