It looks like a BICC fuse with the BI callenders on it.

freddo · Aug 19, 2019

If it didn't have the BI part it would be really old...

I imagine it's the original one! Cutout was BICC as is all the cable, all installed on 1963. Remains of that antique fuse is retained with my small collection of "antique bits"

I too have a collection of old electrical crap.

Don't know what's worse, the missing cover on the esco, the link between neutral and earth after the meter or the fact that someone has managed to install a new board whilst this still exists and didn't even bother with a glam for the tails.

Went back to said lamp post today.

Also decided to look in the next one along. Not sure why and sort of wish I hadn't

Are you familiar with the expression 'Can of worms'?

Creative use of that MK fuse holder.

James · Aug 20, 2019

I have probably got in stock a replacement fuse carrier for that.
send me the dimensions and I will check.

will cost you a beer to cover the postage.

Just big enough to get two 1.0mm cables through.

LewisM · Aug 21, 2019

In a HMO somebody has been very creative with bypassing the meter, so they unscrewed the neutral in the incomer covered it in tape then shoved it back in, used the earth as the neutral as its a pme system, completely butchering the cu in the process.

freddo · Aug 21, 2019

Is the meter bypassed though? I can't really see what is going on?!
