Dangerous Intake and fusebox in a North London Flat.

Yes, the very early cutouts used to be rewireable, usually with a 30 amp fuse wire sometimes larger. Horrid old beasts they are, there are actually a few substations with rewireable fuses in the LV feeder pillars too! Not personally seen one in the flesh though, only noticed them on plans

I wondered how did old rewireable main incomer fuses coped with High PSCC situations? - Did they just literally explode?
 
Don't know really, wouldn't of thought they explode, rather that weaknesses get found and the terminals and fuse holder end up overheating and burning out

Don't forget the porcelain and cast iron as well, both of which are rather heat resistant, the cast iron enclosure should be able to contain the explosion.

The 3 perfect ingredients right there for a non combustible amendment 3 compliant consumer unit, asbestos, cast iron and porcelain.
