would like other peoples opinions please.
been installing a tap off box today on a high level busbar trunking. as usual when doing this i isolated the busbar and did the job no problem. the new manager of the works though didnt appreciate the downtime however and insisted it was safe to do it live.
personally i think this is b*llox and told him so, i would sight regulation 14 of the electricity at work regulations as the defence
''no work shall be performed on or so near to live conductors that danger may arise unless it is totally unreasonable in all circumstances to be isolated''
it goes something like that anyway!
just wondered what others do in regards to the busbar trunking.
maybe im been overcautious but then again i bet getting a belt from one of these would smart!
