It's a con by the fitting manufacturer, so that you have to buy replacements from them only. Just like the 3 pin bayonet fittings by MEM.

There is an elongated hole with the meter cables and earth cable going through it.

UKPN will not renew the cables to the two properties, only to the cutout. The cable from the isolator that i want to install to the meter will belong to the council. Is this unusual? I've had a job before in an where an isolator had to be renewed in an intake cupboard, UKPN said that did not own...

The UKPN cutout will be in that burnt out cupboard once it is rebuilt. I am running a cable from the cutout to the meter.

There are actually 2 properties involved here. The property i'm more concerned about is a 2 storey house which is on top of a single storey flat (1970's council estate). The front doors to the two properties are facing opposite directions and both have a bin/intake cupboard next to the front...

The switchfuse and swa will be on the suppliers side of the meter. I will be doing an r1+r2 and IR test only as there will be no power.

I'm going to install one of these with a 3 core 16mm swa coming from it. Uk power networks are going to replace the underground cable from the road but the want my cable run and tested before they do anything.

I had a job to look at today where someone had set fire to some rubbish in an intake cupboard. Uk power networks have dug up some of the road and disconnected the incoming tncs supply. They will not run a new supply until a new armoured cable has been installed and tested. I was thinking of...

Are the light fittings made by Hilclare by any chance?
