Plastic switch in external meter box

aligarjon
Can i fit a plastic switch fuse such as an 800kmf in the external meter box or does it have to be metal.   I am not interested in the dno view, they always seem to be happy with our switch gear in there around here so long as we leave them enough room.

    I reckon that both are my boxes on my land. My land! So where is the legal basis for the DNO "owning" one of them?


    On that logic, you own the DNO service cable, cut-out and meter Chris!


    As Simon Barker says, the householder (or builder) has to supply (and if necessary, replace) the boxes. It is, of course, a condition of the supply contract that the DNO and supplier may install their tackle in my box, on the garage wall, and in my ground; but that doesn't mean that they own the box or the space within.
