Dodgy garage installation - borrowed neutrals?

Chris Pearson
This photo appeared in a car advert which was mentioned in a motoring forum.


The three lines all appear to make their way to the 3-phase board, but I cannot quite see why is happening to the neutrals.


Presumably the meter fitters were content that all was in order, although I suppose that the supplier's' principal concern is billing.


Would nobody give it a satisfactory EICR?

    I am rather left wondering what we are seeing here - I see a single phase cut out with one fused live and a neutral that is not the normal way up, and 2 single pole fuses in the middle of what looks like meter tails coming in from somewhere else. This is not a supply upgrade from 1 phase to 3  in quite the way it would be done around here. I'm hoping there is a proper DNO owned 3 phase incomer somewhere else, and this is only secondary metering, however  the fact that what I assumed were post meter Henley blocks are sealed, and some of  ones that appear to be pre-meter  do not appear to be, I'm far from certain about which way things are actually being used.

    One could be forgiven for a sharp intake of breath, and a sound like 'eek'.

    Some tidying up required at the very least.
