Indeed so. Mine certainly have extra labels on them to inicate the rating of the actual fuse which has been fitted. The OP's photos seems to show only the 'fuse holder rating', so doesn't really tell us what fuse has been fitted.post a picture, is it a stuck on label. ... The main label is put on when the things made, 100 is the max, round here they stick on a seperate label if they derate the fuse, but not always.
I believe that's true. In fact, knowing how much people like 'safety margins', I doubt that they would use fuse holders which seem to be invariably 'rated at' 100A if they were commonly putting 100A fuses into them.Not sure but i think its not very common to actually find a 100amp fuse actually fitted inside a 100 amp domestic carrier
Possibly. However, for what it's worth, my daughter's house recently had a meter change and, despite a clear "60A fuse" label on the cutout, they installed new 25mm² tails.They are 25mm tails. Which leads me to think it may indeed be 100a
Experiences vary. At my penultimate meter change, about 6 or so years ago, they changed all my tails - seemingly to 16mm² ones for each of the phases and 25mm² for the neutral. At a subsequent 'routine (non-'smart') meter change', about 3 years later (goodness knows why!), they seemingly changed the neutral one to 16mm² as well (although I didn't notice that for a long time)!Everyone has been putting in 25mm tails forever now regardless. (imho)
Very true - I hadn't noticed that!Someone doesn't know their Ls from their Ns.
Mmm... seems odd for anyone to go to the effort and expense of replacing a large cable with a smaller one just because it could carry too much current. Still, I've given up trying to understand people.they changed all my tails - seemingly to 16mm² ones
They didn't do that - the tails had always been (looked like0 16mm² - I was just pointing out (in response to what you had said) that when they replaced tails quite recently (~6 years ago), I imagine because the existing one's weren't long enough for the new meter (they looked healthy enough), they replaced 16mm² ones with 16mm² ones (at least for the phase ones).Mmm... seems odd for anyone to go to the effort and expense of replacing a large cable with a smaller one just because it could carry too much current.
to mean "they changed all my tails to 16mm² ones".they changed all my tails - seemingly to 16mm² ones
