    Meter tails 10m long

    DNO fits Cut out and seals, MOP fits meter and DPI but leaves CU tails disconnected, seals everything except DPI load terminal cover is plastic seal. Cut out to meter tails normally 3 metres maximum. Electrician then tests and connects to DPI.

    Main fuse blows before MCB.

    Surprised a plumber managed to get hold of a cut out fuse, maybe a piece of 15mm copper pipe fitted with 2 end caps for an instant red link.

    No neutral at Fuseboard?!?!

    Very poor job, no heat shrink on the conductors or break out boot!

    Type of earthing system?

    If you remove the black X shaped bung you should be able to see if the block is one piece between neutral and earth, if it is you have PME.

    UK Question for Experts - Step up / Step down transformer?

    Don’t worry about the frequency, if you look at most domestic electrical appliances it will state 50/60Hz. I’m not going into AC theory but in the USA they use 60Hz while here in the UK we use 50Hz nominal frequency.

    UK Question for Experts - Step up / Step down transformer?

    Good find, I saw some 45VA ones but only 2 pin so unsuitable for a class 1 appliance.

    UK Question for Experts - Step up / Step down transformer?

    Take a look at this, 300W is adequate. View: https://www.amazon.co.uk/240v-110v-Step-Down-Transformer/dp/B000NIYH94/ref=sr_1_10?crid=FQFYHKTP0KZK&dchild=1&keywords=step+down+transformer+240v+to+110v&qid=1588342143&sprefix=step+down%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-10

    The old MK1 hybrid colour TVs with the decoder boards that the colour dropped out all the time, croc clip across the test pins and turn the trimmer for the slowest Hanover bars.

    3ph to domestic property, 80A or 100A?

    Whole current meters generally have a maximum current limitation of 80A per phase, fitting 100A cut out fuses would exceed that unless you are using CT metering.

    UK Question for Experts - Step up / Step down transformer?

    I would initially contact the manufacturer (link below) and ask them what the power consumption of the device is. Once you have that information you will be able to purchase a suitable transformer to convert the unit to run off the UK supply voltage...

    Supply to flats

    Pretty sure there should be fuses fitted instead of red links looking at the MSDB. Also wondering why the need for a 3 phase meter when it is only supplies a single phase for the landlord supply?

    UK Help with a tampered eco 7 time switch

    Not easy to see clearly but that looks like an E7 4 terminal meter which simply switches all circuits onto cheap rate at specified times. Normally with storage heaters a 5 terminal meter is used which via the 5th terminal only supplies power during the off peak E7 period normally to a separate...

    Marking holes for steel trunking

    Block of flats in Perth around New Year, riser fire took out the top 3 floors. Open Concrete walkways. Fixing 100mm galvo trunking (which was hand balled up from the ground) to the ceiling of the walkways, never again will I touch unistrut, zebs or trunking again in my life. My arms still hurt...

    Customers, you've got to love them.

    Enjoying my last few working years on metering the usual customer question is “How long will the power be off.” My response is always “around 30-40 minutes but the good news is we don’t charge you for it while it’s off and if you want to put the kettle on before it does please do it now” This...

    Frequency power fluctuations

    Frequency is set at the point of generation and remains constant along the distribution network, have you tried a substitute tester? The last time the frequency fell less than 1.5hz the network automatically began shedding load after 2 power stations failed.
