Protecting DNO equipment

[Michaelwgroves]

A House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) officer inspecting a HMO for temporary accommodation has advised tenants might be tempted to play with DNO equipment as it's not in a locked cupboard.

I'd be interested in your thoughts, my view is nothing to do with me, DNO install this and deem it to be safe, therefore I should not touch anything.
HMO officer suggesting locked cupboard, but surly you can't put a lock on DNO equipment, they need access?

Call them back then it is not an accepted means of providing an earth and they will say it is not their earth if there are any problems in future. They should use the cupro phosphorous wrap around clip I think it is called.

Spring or constant tension clamp.

Is this the one you were rewiring?

eddy currents on the tails entry as well.

I think where those tails enter is wooden not metal so no eddy currents

A Hepworth clamp is what you want.

The tails look like 16mm yet they've fitted a 100a fuse ?

Think I might have been a bit more concerned with the electrician playing with the DNO equipment using a BS951 for the home made earth. So should the HMO inspector if he wants to play at being an electrician. Yes I agree DNO not my problem. Would not get involved.
