Main Fuse query

Chector · May 21, 2015

Hi, I've come across a system with no apparent main fuse. The supply comes into a metal hinged box with the words BIG Ltd on it. This is boxed inside a cupboard so I can't open it or tell if it is sealed. The tails then come out to the meter and into a double pole connector block. This splits the supply to two old cartridge fuse boards. Has anyone come across this before. I guess I'll have to ask the DNO to fit a modern fuse and isolator as I'm installing a consumer unit but an advice would be gratefully received. If I could work out how to post a picture on this forum I would upload them.

The cutout will be in the metal hinged box.

If it is a metal cutout do not touch! Call the dno to to replace it.

I've clicked insert image and it asks for a URL, there is no option "from computer".

Try clicking go advanced and then the icon that's looks like a piece of paper with a paper clip.

Or the other option is to upload the pic to photo bucket, this will give the image a URL, copy and paste the URL in the option you found earlier.
