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?

    Mapj where ate the 2 single pole fuses? Are they the black blocks near the top of the foto?







    Yes - the things looking like an oversized Henley blocks to the left of the grey meter are, I think, 100A fuse holders, and appear to be the other 2 phases coming in from stage left, but as I said before that looks like meter tail, so somewhere it must join to some sort of 3 phase incoming point, either underground, or maybe they crimp onto the tails of a set of ageing overhead singles - but then I'd expect the other phase to  be the same, this looks more of an afterthought.
