Of course this is, of course, all agreed with his supplier & DNO that the network can import this amount of power?

Immersion heater control used in conjunction with E7.

So the first question surely is is it live? Or has it been spotted/reported already & disconnected for safety and the neccessary staff informed? All I see above are assumptions. And as suggested, as a legitimate visitor to the site, has the OP actually raised this with on-site staff, as...

Nice!

Do not under any circumstances just hire a CAT (cable avoidance tool), you must also hire a matching signal Generator (GENNY). And get some training on how to use it The CAT will only positively locate cables that are live & are carrying a reasonable bit of load (usually in the 20 - 30A range as...

No, No and Thrice NO. That cut-out is not under any circumstances your property, you do not and never will have the appropriate training and authorisation to open it, work on it (even changing fuses) or interfere with it in any way. If the fuse does operate you MUST contact your DNO who will...

And as there is no whole current meter rated above 100A, the 35mm is never needed

Mostly allan key socket head screws nowadays installed using a torque device owing the the risk of splitting aluminum conductors

What I find odd as well (possibly I've mentioned it before) is that cut-outs and meters will continue to be made out of the plastics they now are.

A funny thing really. We are the first response to calls regarding fires at the meter position as obviously we are authorised to remove the cut-out fuse. (OK there are others and we have no real objection to the fire service doing it) But Surprise, surprise we rarely get calls to CU fires that...

Yep, but in that case the strike as usually hit the line (they're a good target don't you know) That is why we have auto-reclose on rural networks

Doh. Jetrangers don't ave wheels Here's one of WPDs Though they don't use them anymore as the CAA has specified twin engine types fr lowlevel patrol work

Never come across it

Well in 2009 Cockermouth got flooded to a depth of over 6 foot in places. In most cases we just dried the cut-outs before re-energising. Similarly in 197? parts of the Fylde near Blackpool got flooded by salt water, same again most cut-outs survived. Still not taking the chance though

Filmed in Germany or Austria if I recall. We never did anything quite as daft! The odd 20 mile flight at no more than 30ft (as we had permission to fly that low). But had forgot about a no fly zone so climbed very quickly. Or along a beach slightly lower than that, well OK half the height...

Make sure your voltage reading is accurate as well. We're getting fed up of reports of high volts, that ae reports of inaccurate voltmeters in actual fact!

Used to many years ago, but too many of my colleagues started backing out (wimps) so it's all done on contract by helicopter companies. Flying at low level in parts of the Lake District is superb though.

No pics sorry, they got him off before our guys got there so cancelled our attendance

This appeared on our fault system today. And I couldn't go as I was on another job!!
