Smart meter wiring confusion

[LostInTheUnderflow]

I have just moved into a house and I am confused about the installation of my meter.
I would like to know if it is fully metering both sides of the house.
Please see attached images of the installation of the smart meter in my house.
Some things to note:
The house is made up of an original building plus a stable extention.
The pictures are of inside the original house.
There is a seperate (modern) consumer unit in the stable building.
There is only one meter that I am billed for.

As far as I can tell the supply comes in at [1] goes to a 100 breaker[2], goes to junction box [3] then fuse boxes [4] & [5]

I am concerned that [4] & [5] are not metered.

In parralel junction box [3] goes to smart meter [6].
Smart meter [6] goes to 60A fuse [7] and out (I think) [8] to consumer unit in stables

 

[EFLImpudence]

Surely you have [8] and [1] the wrong way round.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Simple method - turn everything off, note the meter reading, then use power in the stable watching the Smart meter.

A clamp meter on the tails might be even easier than watching the meter.

Main supply at the top, into the fuse/cutout.
From there 2 wires to the meter, and 2 wires from that to the terminal blocks, which have 3 sets of wires to the 3 fuseboxes.
All metered, all entirely standard and ordinary.

It's also a total mess and in desperate need of an major overhaul.

I'll need to dig out the smart meter display (it wasn't connecting when I first moved into the house).
Reason I didn't think it was like your diagram was becasuse what you have marked as supply [8] is thinner than [1].
[8] goes to 60A fuse
[1] goes to 100A fuse/breaker

I would have thought that fuses would go from bigger -> smaller

 

[LostInTheUnderflow]

I agree it is a mess. Looking at someone to replace the fuse boxes to a consumer unit

 

[JohnD]

please stand back and take a wider pic that shows all the cables to and from the meter, and where they come from/go to.

I think there is something to the left of the meter that is important.

The MEM (switchfuse) on the right is supplied from the meter

and sends power through the conduit (or SWA?) out of the top.

might be a submain feed to an outbuilding.

edit
no sign of a Main Switch or a Main Earthing Terminal.

the white paint hides whatever G/Y are present

Reason I didn't think it was like your diagram was becasuse what you have marked as supply [8] is thinner than [1].

I cant fault your logic, but worth noting that they are different types of cable. 1 is an SWA cable, while 8 is a concentric type, and will be about 16mm² CSA, and 1 is likely to be similar, looking at at

[8] goes to 60A fuse
[1] goes to 100A fuse/breaker
I would have thought that fuses would go from bigger -> smaller

Again, that would be sensible but, but that assumes

i) There is a 60A fuse in the cutout(7) - Quite likely
ii) there is a 100A fuse in the switchfuse(2) - Possibly/Possibly not, may have been downrated
iiI) The person doing it was smart enough not to put a 100A fuse downstream of a 60A servcie fuse - Probably not looking at the mess there!


As flameport says, its all pretty standard, there is no way that the MEM switchfuse is the incomming supply and the cutout is feeding your submain

Ingoring everything else, I'll make 2 points:
1, the correct connexions to the meter are company supply to the input on the left and customer load taken from output on right.
2, the standard markings on the tails by meter fitters etc is single brown and blue markers on the suppliers side and 2 markers on the customer side.

As far as I'm concerned the meter wiring is totally standard and correct.
As has been said the fuse boxes and earthwiring could do with a check over, personally I'd replace the boxes but not as a matter of urgency unless an inspection reveals problems.

 

[LostInTheUnderflow]

I hit the MEM breaker and it only turned off the supply to the stable, no the main house.
So thnakyou for helping me clear that up.
The only thing now is that 60A is before 100A
is before

 

[LostInTheUnderflow]

Which is why i thought it was the other way round originally

 

[SUNRAY]

With that MEM switched off, pull the 100A fuse carrier out and have a look at the fuse.
Work of warning, it may be hard to pull out so make sure you're sure footed and not balanced on a flimsy box.

 

[LostInTheUnderflow]

Aye 100A.
