Looking at the meter I questioned if they ever had E7 as the meter was a single rate 4 wire.
"We did have storage heaters but had them took out so the electrician removed the E7 DB, the associated wiring and the timer clock.
Well that would explain the loss of the E7 then!
Electrician has obviously removed the cut out fuse to do this work and replace the DB with a split load one as no isloator was fitted and the seals were missing..but not authorised to do so no doubt!
Also obviously replaced the load meter tails to the DB as these were new and again seals missing, in fact one of the meter terminal covers screws was missing...again another no no!
The customer also mentioned the same electrician had disconnected the existing TT arrangement and connected the earth to the neutral on a TNCS but the cut out was not labelled as PME....another no no!
Not particularly happy at this point so checked the NIC paperwork for the installation to see a ZE of 0.13ohms recorded so assume correct and within specification.
The cables into the new DB had mostly been extended to reach, I assume they were all tightly and safely crimped before being wrapped in grey insulation tape not heatshrink.
So apart from unauthorised removal of the cut out fuse, unauthorised opening of a whole current meter,theft of a metering time-switch and decidedly dodgy wiring methods it was a great job.
Apologies for the picture quality.
