Old Delta (Δ) Service Head Cut-Out

ilias over 5 years ago

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

Do the 4 tails go to a meter , and if so who reads that meter ? (look for an MPAN number) - it certainly has all the appearance of a DNO head, and in any case the top half will hold 3 fuses and a bolted neutral. The lower part shoulc contain an earth clamp to the cable armour, and is probably filled with tar.

If it is running hot or seems to be live , then contact the DNO.
