A fault at the cutout could result in a current of several hundred amps, releasing as much energy every 10-20 seconds as a stick of dynamite.
And it is sealed. And its real dangerous if something goes wrong.
Meter guys wear stuff like this, just in case….
That appears to be the case, although I suppose it's possible that the CU Main Switch is open. However, even if it is, I would personally still want to use that isolator!Do I see correctly - guy working on cutout fuse with CU isolator closed so no guarantee that fuse isn't carrying current
How accurate is the Owl, and down to what level?
This video shows a 10kA fault for 1 second.Blimey that seems a bit extreme
230 ÷ 10000 = an order of magnitude smaller than the "conventional" Ze for a TN-C-S supply.....10kA is entirely possible on a single phase supply with a short L-N.
