Yes.

Yes, you will have to keep it.

It is not really necessary but there is a silly rule by the DNO.

Am I correct that when new c u being installed there's only the customers (mine) 80 amp fuse that needs pulling and not the dno supply fuse

 

[EFLImpudence]

Yes, but does it not have a switch?

 

[petend]

Yes on the main supply yhat runs from the meter and a switch on the signal cable that feeds the E7 contactor
