Now obviously I have not seen this with my own eyes as it would involve pulling possible DNO fuses which I would never do...but I have it on good authority that there is a certain small block of flats where each flat has, in a meter box outside the front door, its own meter and what appears to be a DNO fuse holder; and in each of these "DNO" fuse holders there is, where one might have expected a BS1361 fuse, a thick tubular metal dummy.
Now, this could be because elsewhere in the block there is a main fuse cupboard with correct fuse protection for the distribution circuits to the individual flats. ****Is such an arrangement not uncommon, in your experience?**** Or, it could be that there is no such cupboard and the whole thing is in fact a complete bloody nightmare. There is no easy way to know without asking the block management, who a) I wouldn't trust to be right if asked the colour of orange juice, and b) might get nasty and suspicious.
My natural inclination, if it were up to me, which of course it isn't, would be to stick your metal tube up your backside and get a suitable rated BS1361 in there.
Thoughts?
