How to cut the input cable to the apartment?
Hello. Tell me please. There is an entrance to the apartment (Khrushchev), a wire from the entrance. It is necessary to cut it off in order to carry out a new one. I read that you need to cut 1 wire (one then the second). But the question is: with insulated wire cutters, in rubber gloves (special), can I cut off this cable or do I need additional protection (what?).
P.s. In the old apartment, also in Khrushchev, the electrician, when changing the wiring, simply cut off the cable in the entrance, there was a little cotton, he showed the wire cutters there was a small chip.

Hello! In no case do this yourself, it is forbidden to cut the cable under voltage, because death can be unavoidable in case of electric shock. Call a specialist, he will do everything safely by turning off the necessary machines.
The fact is that you cut the phase with zero with a pair of pliers. If you already have a dialogue on this topic, depending on what kind of nippers you will trim. If the usual ones that fit in one hand, then even an experienced electrician would not do this with dielectric gloves. You never know what kind of clap will be during short-circuit and whether the machine will knock somewhere on the line. If the wire is flat and is not combined by a common insulation sheath of the APPV type, then you can try to bite each of the wires individually - it will be better.
