uprating the tails from the main fuse to the meter


After the meter,you are your own man,before the meter,you leave well alone,it is not only nothing to do with us,it comes under different regulations and its iillegal and with a capitol I

No new rods to be installed, where currant earthing is inadequate conversion to PME must be included in the quote

Never used to be any costs involved from the old regional boards for a PME conversion, and many of the present DNO's still don't charge where PME is already available. This sounds more like a money making exercise than anything else. And at £156 a throw, for literary a few minutes work, a real money maker for this DNO!! ​

Yep, they are trying it on down south as well £150 +VAt a pop.

Don't bother IMO, just stick a twigg in with a bit of Grn/yell and all is complete.......

Do not touch the meter .....................................

yes i am talking domestic.

How about moving the meter?

Is it something people would do, i mean if a meter needs moving and to move it you will have to extend the length of the tails from the main fuse to the meter because the meter will now be further away from the main fuse?

I suppose a henly block or something similar could be used to extend the length of the tails coming from the main fuse to the meter?

Or is it best to phone the supplier and get them to come out and get them to move the meter?
The trouble is they might take ages to get there.

 

[ackbarthestar]

agreed, touch anything you like but do not disturb the seals on the meter ........

 

[KAS1]

Defiantly a no no................

So if you want to extend the tails from the meter to a new fuseboard for instance how would you go about it ?

I mean to do this the meter seals would have to be broken?

What are the consequences if they are?
I guess you could always say they were broken before I got here.

Basically the receptionists know nothing about the trade but that's who you'll probably deal with. Pretty much like RS
