    Difficult Service head

    Hello all, I've recently put a new circuit in a house and when filling out my EIC, I needed to access the service head (attached). I'm relatively new to this and I'm struggling here. In order to access ANY part of this, you have to pull the main fuse and I had to cut a few metal tallys off...

    Service head within flat

    Customer would like service head and meter moved in flat, they contacted SSE who said that they need to get their electrician 'me' to move the rising main, they will then come and move their equipment. Doesn't make any sense to me. I assumed the service head and HRC fuse belong to the DNO but...

    Hi, I'm a trainee electrician and am thinking about upgrading a consumer unit. I'm aware that anything south of the CCU belongs to the electricity supplier and that we're required to call them out to remove the fuse from the service head before starting such a job; but I'm curious about this...

    Service head query

    Attached is a picture of the service head at our house. Is this a type that the DNO should replace for free upon notification?

    Service Head

    I don't think I've seen a service head like this before, I've only got the picture to go on at the moment and it's not that clear. I can't see a fuse anyway. I'm assuming that what I can see in the picture is a cover that either opens or comes off and presumably has, or should have, a seal on...
