Substation Question

[pezabj]

Hi,

Moving into a house and the searches have just revealed the existence of a Substation on the Property.

Now, I have looked at the "Electrical Installation" - It is Fenced off (Wooden) and with a Danger of Death Sign outside.

It's a Grey Metal Cabinet cabinet, 6 foot high, 1.5 Foot Deep, 4 Foot Wide. No noticeable buzz. Most Substations I have seen are caravan sized.

Doesn't strike me as a Substation (Most of the transformers I've seen are over 3 foot square). EDF when questioned claimed it was "Street Furniture" and Possibly a street lighting control system - Though I suspect they have ****** up.

Does anyone have any possible idea as to what this might be?

Will try and get a picture up later later. But does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Got a very nervous missus at the moment .... though all the research I have done indicates the risk if it was a real substation to be low.

Also, if this is a Control Cabinet of some sort, why is it classed as a Substation?

Cheers,

Pezabj

ud need a picture and read what it says on the fence If it is a sub station or street furniture owned by EDF ect and You own the land You should get rent for the space its taking up

Cheers Mogga.

The land is owned by EDF.

So no right of rent. Without a picture, it's useless. Will try and get a snap of it later.

Cheers,

I still think it is a 500,000v killer; otherwise why would they bother to put the urchin bait next to it?
