Shed install. Splitting tails

[BenSparky8]

Hi guys,

Wondering if you could give any advice. Started a job today doing a shed install. They want a 6mm swa supply. The original plan was to come off of an MCB in the fusebox but it’s not going to be very accessible without too much damage.

Is there any ideas in what I could do in the meter box? Was thinking maybe a 40a isolator of some kind to take the swa from?

Thanks

I take it when it came to getting the ducting for the DNO supply, a big hammer was the only tool available?

Never seen the cut out mounted like that before either, it certainly doesn't look the most secure mounting. Also never seen the duct left open and not filled with a putty of some sort.

Almost looks like the builder was left to get the DNO cable up inside the meter housing, the smart meter came first and when the DNO came to connect there was no room left to fix the head back

Either way it is pretty rough as ...

Angled back head like that is common enough in flush mounted boxes to avoid sharp bends in the cable.
Strangely, the Western Power used that arrangement in one of my supplies in a surface box. Service cable comes out of the ground and rises up to the cabinet a good six inches away from the wall.
