Evening,

Carried out EV charger installation survey today & found this meter. Is that a 16mm concentric type cable adapter between cutout & meter?
This is a TT installation, tails unprotected. Not sure about installation method of DNO supply.
I'd like to upgrade tails to 25mm between cutout & meter, looks like the tails adapter can be removed & replaced with standard tails?

Also - meter is only rated for 80A, unsure of cutout fuse size.

Maybe easier to have smart meter fitted & convert to TNC-S

I'm pretty confident it's TT although haven't metered.
Old meter in still in place.
Same Earth cable leaving box can be seen other side of wall connected to Earth rod.
Concentric incoming cable does not look like a TN-S cable.

I'll meter it before making any big decisions
