Low Risk Work on Mains Work
Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2023 6:41 pm
Sorry if this has been asked before -
I've got a question about Low risk work on Mains Work - More specific, Work on Mains.
If a damaged underground 3 phase Mains Cable that is being replaced (same trench, same path etc.), who fills out the ESC? Line mechanic or Electrician - OR maybe 1 each? 1 for the Pole connection if the line mechanic is doing the final connection to pole fuses to allow power to flow and 1 from the Electrician who has replaced the Mains Cable?
Exisiting Mains Cable will be disconnected by Lines company at Pole Fuse, then replacement cable connected and livened by NetworkCompany.
Network Company will obviously want to see Cert from Electrician before livening. But being Low Risk, the ESC can only be completed once power is reconnected (ESR 74A (2)) so there won't be any paper work to fill our sign until installation is re livened.
Or does the Electrician issue a CoC for the Maintenance of conductors (ESR 65 (1)(a) & ESR 65 (2)) to show the Line Mechanic then issue a ESC once its live?
