I didn't know that about the DNO cables not always having a continuous earthed outer sheath I suppose its just the old fashioned way of doing it. Now I understand why sometimes even underground supply's need an earth steak outside
Lol sorry about that sometimes I wish I knew proper spelling. I suppose if you want a cheap installation rather than steak you could have sn earth burger ok coat on door open!
House is obviously not fed from that transformer, at least not directly if the PSCC is sub 1KA. The sub building looks older than the neighbouring house. Perhaps the housing development merely encroached on an existing sub-station.
I think maybe the feeder from the sub goes all the way to the end of the road to a link box then back up the street to the house in the foto. I'm sure the DNO would know even if they mite be unwilling to say
