Old Delta (Δ) Service Head Cut-Out

ilias
Good morning all,


During a survey, i came across what seems to be a very old Delta Cut-Out (attached picture for reference).


I contacted Eaton (who as far as i know now own Delta) but they couldn't provide me with any information on it.


I believe it is a fused cut out installed by the local DNO and directly connected to the LV network or to an adjacent substation, but can anyone please confirm?


Any information would be helpful.


Thank you,

Ilias

    Certainly looks like a DNO's cut-out (fuse) - but the same equipment can occasionally be used for other (e.g. private) work - the situation might tell you more that the equipment spec. in that regard - e.g. if it's a simple domestic or commercial situation known to have a direct grid supply and the cables out of the top go directly to the supplier's meter(s) etc then yes it's likely to be the DNO's equipment. On the other hand if it's in a remote outbuilding and directly feeding a DB or landlord's meter then it might be just be a convenient way of terminating a submain cable and be part of the consumer's installation.
