Can we not just get used to the fact that the DNOs will find, via their immense financial and political clout, that they will continue to find every way possible to negate their responsibilities for the costs associated with requisite continuous upgrades and improvements for their low voltage networks, and instead, lobby the likes of BEAMA, JPEL and CENLEC to enact wiring regulation requirements upon us via BS7671 in order to compensate for their obvious shortcomings.
Their shareholders of course, will be endlessly happy.
Let us have a look at progress thus far.
Cmin - introduced because they cannot stabilize the voltages at their end, so we have to compensate via BS7671 by installing larger than necessary cables.
Surge protection - again, they refuse to spend money upon stabilizing their supplies and making them robust enough to withstand and network surges at the origins.
The latest snake oil - not to be entirely blamed upon the suppliers but more of a hell of a expensive and dubious solution to a problem which does not exist in reality.
Time to suck it up - they are getting away with it and I have no idea what we can do to counter this nonsense.
