Ref : Meter tails , with reference to sparky conn and discon do sparkies carry those funny metal seals . Strange question i know , cheers , hope you enjoyed your hols . Regards Jeff

[sparx]

Not legally!
We used to have an arangement with supply authority whereby they would sell registered contractors some numbered plastic seals (yellow),and if you unsealed cutout you resealed with your plastic one and notified them & they would change for metal (nomal) seal later.
since privitisation they won't play, ECA & other orgs . keep trying but dealing with several energy suppliers not easy,
regards SPARX

[Jeffmo]

so am i right in thinking that only lecky company can pull main fuse? or do you have to call them in just to put the silly little tags on . Cheers mate Jeff

Officially u should talk to them first, the reason seals there to stop tampering with supply, not forgetting if you make a mistake on pulling/refitting fuse several thousand Amps can flow until short circuiting item vapourises........B.W. SPARX
