    Hello, I am doing a small renovation at home and I have to change the sockets, etc. The problem is that while knitting I accidentally came across a 3-core copper cable YDYp 3x1.0. Such for a standard home installation, the best part is that I didn't know about it ...
    It is in round insulation, gray conduit marked 300 / 500V.
    Anyway, I need to cut it, but it's probably energized. The following question is, if I have insulated pliers with the symbol "RSEc 180B Un500V / 5000V" and being sure that the mentioned cable has a standard voltage of 230V, can I cut it without fear? If additional data is needed to answer this question, please write.
    Thank you in advance.

    When live, you can cut any wire, even the one with e.g. 15kV, but only out of ignorance. If you know that you have such a wire in the wall, it is probably easier to turn off the voltage in this wire. After all, it is not connected to your neighbor, unless you like special effects .
    What the arc will be, of course, depends on the protection of this circuit.

    And isn't it better to cut it without voltage and know what the wire is for?

    If this cable is not currently supplying anything, it can be cut without any effects - but with cutouts and one wire at a time.
    Why not turn off all the fuses and ignore the excitement?

    One more piece of advice as in the first sentence and there will be a warning.
    The last one.

    You can't cut this cable just like that, because you will lose the voltage - first turn off the tap :D

    Good - side electrotechnical cutters.

    This advice is neither dangerous nor harmful, buddy, and more precisely, it is useful. So please don't scare me.
    I recommended that all fuses be turned off, and the author wrote: probably it is energized . Unknown wires should be cut in such a way, when you are not sure whether it is live (it may be a neighbor's cable or from a public staircase), and switching off the fuses is not a guarantee of safety.

    A power cord with electricity can be cut with an ax when someone's life is in danger, (another aspect) they taught it in school, at least in my time.

    Dear colleagues, in cases described by law as states of higher necessity (necessary defense, saving lives, etc.), you can do various things, including keeping the attacker out of the way (but this is really the extreme). However, in the case of renovation work and human laziness (IMHO, the time spent looking for answers on the network would be enough to completely disconnect the voltage in the apartment), dangerous activities cannot be recommended as normal course of action. I do not question that the author of this answer can cut the wire (using appropriate tools, gloves and glasses) under voltage in a way that is safe for himself, but I am not so sure that everyone reading the forum will do it now or in a few months. In this case, bearing in mind the lack of selectivity of security measures, the minimum penalty may be the need to call an emergency energy emergency in order to restore power. What will happen, however, if a teenager grabs any cutting equipment (because he read it on the forum) and has an accident? So I propose more responsibility for your words written anonymously in the forum and analyzing the post before posting for security. Will we not cause some misfortune with our advice - even unconsciously.
    greetings

    What a colleague = X = wants to do is work under voltage, and for this appropriate permissions are required to carry out work under voltage, besides, this type of work is performed on a written request with appropriate certified tools.

    In the eyes of the law, even without tension, he must not do it.

    The electrician should know that there are appropriate and simple tools for this to check whether or not voltage is present in the conductor before cutting it.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the safe handling of a 230V energized 3-core copper cable (YDYp 3x1.0) during home renovation. The user inquires about the safety of cutting the cable with insulated pliers (RSEc 180B Un500V) while it is potentially live. Responses emphasize the importance of turning off the power before cutting any wires to avoid hazards, as working under voltage requires specific permissions and safety measures. Several participants caution against cutting live wires, suggesting that it is safer to ensure the circuit is de-energized first. They also mention the necessity of using appropriate tools to check for voltage presence before proceeding with any cutting.
