What makes you say that - one surely can't tell from what we've been shown.... they don't look double insulated.
Exactly.What makes you say that - one surely can't tell from what we've been shown.
Are you perhaps assuming that the fact that the 'coverings' we can see are blue and brown (and perhaps are expecting grey, if 'double insulated' $ strictly 'insulated and sheathed'}) means that they are not 'insulated and sleeved'? If so, there are plenty of 'meter tails' around which have blue/brown (or red/black) sheathing, as well as inner insulation - as per these 'tail kits' from TLC ...

Oh the irony...Exactly.
I should think the tails are sheathed, most likely
a red with grey sheath.
a black with black sheath.
a harmonised blue with blue sheath
a harmonised brown with brown sheath.
Admittedly there is nothing else in the picture to give idea of scale.
... which all goes to show how dangerous it can be to draw conclusions from inadequate informationOh the irony... Instantly my assumption is this is a 3phase installation, upon seeing the picture, and I was seeing the tails either before or after the meter, it didn't for a single second cross my mind this is all of the tails terminated in a single phase meter.
Something that happens far too often on this forum...... which all goes to show how dangerous it can be to draw conclusions from inadequate information

However if your tails were brown, black, grey, blue there is a tiny chance it may have swayed your thought.Even though I am used to looking at the tails of my 3-phase installation to look out, I have to say ('counter-echoing' what you write) that "it didn't for a single second cross my mind thisiswas not all of the tails terminated in a single phase meter!
