What is going on here?
Well here is the full story. A new smart meter was fitted. Reports were made to the local D.N.O. that the 16.0mm2 tails were too small with the new 100 Amp main fuse, and 25mm2 tails were recommended. The Henley block had inner insulation showing at the tails and the D.N.O./meter gur applied tape. The second set of old tails runs about 5 metres to the right to another consumer unit. Rather than replace the old long tails, a switch fuse was installed at their origin and a new 100 Amp Henley block. Now a previously unused P.M.E. earthing terminal is available the one and only R.C.D. has been removed and the two
consumer units each have their own 30mA R.C.D., but not perhaps new A types. Well, there is only so much that customers will pay for this type of work.
The alterations taking place. The main earthing conductor is yet to be installed and the covers replaced. Several tightening down of the screws were made before the covers were replaced.
Interestingly, the old stock 25mm2 tails were great to bend and work with as they were about 30 years old and the copper was very easy to bend.
The new switch fuse had an 80 Amp H.R.C. fuse fitted.
