Since it is just a parallel connection across active and neutral it could
be
done without disconnecting power - provided all of the normal precautions
were
employed. ie. stand on rubber mat, wear rubber soled shoes, use
appropriately
insulated tools, handle one wire at a time and don't touch earthed
objects.
I have done similar things on my own house wiring and here we use 240Vac
50Hz
with phase, neutral and earth connections. I must admit that on the odd
occasion
I have been a bit noncahalant about things and received a nasty whack
though -
but I am still here.
