Basic insulation exposed in electrical outdoor meter box.

AMK

There’s debate about exposed basic insulation in meter cupboards being satisfactory or not? Industry guidance (WRAG) say it’s satisfactory if the door’s in good shape, what’s people views on this ?

  • Poor practice in my view, but arguably permitted. DNOs or metering contractors are not subject to the same regulations that most of us are.

    Single insulated meter tails are in widespread use, and double insulated tails but with the outer sheath cut back, so as to expose the inner insulation are even more common.

    It could even be argued that exposed basic insulation within a meter cupboard Is compliant with IET regulations, as access is only possible by use of a key or tool, to open the cupboard..

    If the cupboard is not secured, it might be argued that the non compliance is the lack of a secured door, rather than the exposed basic insulation.
