Oh ok, yep, reread.
Did the Napit chappy run a cable from that CU? Of was he just connecting to existing point?

Sorry, perhaps I could have phrased that a little better...
I meant obtaining an RCBO of the correct type to fit that board should be dead easy, as opposed to actually fitting it in amongst that mess!

I used to jokingly tell one of my apprentices that electricity flowed better when cables were neat. It was always jokey, but think he took it a little seriously. Now he's out on his own, he keeps saying to me "you weren't serious were you?".

Indeed - I fully agree with that re-worded statement!Sorry, perhaps I could have phrased that a little better...

Yep, them electrons prefer to travel in straight lines
If the frequency were a lot higher, I suppose you might have had a bit of a case!

The meter cover hides the switch, but it's only a single pole disconnector, and it's not rated for on load switching, so not the sort of thing job public should be touching.
Undoubtedly all true but, on all counts, no different from what happens if the nice (wo)man from the DNO pulls the cutout fuse for you!
Kind Regards, John
No, but that is NEVER done under load
Total news to me!
The only fuses I know of that have a restriction are 11kV pole mounted ones that are restricted to 315kVA connected transformer capacity
Quite so, which is why that was one of the 'three counts' I referred to (the other two being single-pole isolation only and not to be done by joe public!).
Kind Regards, John.
I'm lost!
Regarding te isolator on the meter, they were an attempt to provide a separate isolator to customers, as some DNOs provide.
Never seen any restrictions on any of those either

In that one case we do not open them above that load owing the the risk that any arc could contact earthed metalwork.
It makes quite a flash & bang (and that was on one feeding about 150kVA!)
This is from Aus, but something like these, this was trying to close onto a fault as well
