Clearly they mean cutout, but I suspect if they put that, joe public wouldn't know what they meant.

Indeed - but if they called it "the supplier's fuse enclosure", or something like that, most people would probably know what they were talking about.

... but, there again, maybe there are some meters which do leak (hot or cold) liquids
