Cut out and meter connected with t+e

[Bellendian]

Been to look at a job today....cut out at ground level, meter at ceilling height,in a wooden boxing and the pair are connected via 16mm t+e!!
CU cover missing, and a helpful scribbled note on the wooden access panel ' live parts inside, only qualified electricians to open'!

So...who to call...supplier or DNO?

Not unusual in older set ups ........

 

[Bellendian]

Rough as though! To be clear this is t+e between cut out and meter, not meter and cu.
Seen plenty of cu's fed by 16mm t+e, not come across t+e 'tails' before, maybe I've been lucky!

Very much doubt the DNO have installed that.

You should ring the DNO .... and see if they will do anything about it

Those cables are outside BS 7671, so a note on the cert will do ...

Cheers, will see how I get on, got a funny feeling I'll get passed from DNO to supplier and back until I get bored!

If the DNO aren't responsive, the supplier certainly should be, as it's their meter, inherited or otherwise.

Ring the DNO tell them you think installation is dangerous and they will send an engineer out to have a look.
