reconnecting the electric from a demolished building

[Taylortwocities]

But will the DNO no weather or not there has been electric in the past? and if so will they know where the input source is?

Have you even asked the DNO yet?

I disagree - the meter will have a number so will assist the DNO identify the location and any darter on it.
Without that then probably not much info readily available and the actual location might not be obvious anyhow.

then how the heck are you going to find the meter when we dont know where to find any wires

No I have not; though I would leave it until I had posted the photos. Do you think it is a good time to contact them now?

Yes very so!

what is imperial electric?

It's what we all had to use, before it was metricated.

Ebay sell a reasonably cheap electric meter detector, from time to time..

Yes, about 2 months ago,
We do not know anything more than you.

So you think I could go round with an electric meter detector looking for a live feed, like I where fishing for gold or something?

It would be at least as productive, as fishing on here for an answer..

The meter is irelevent. its if there is an electrical power source or not

Well no, not if you get a new meter.

Imperial electricity won't go through a new metric meter - it's the wrong size.

When you contact the DNO, ask them to quote you for a modern meter and an imperial one if they still have any. If not, I believe a smart meter will work, but make sure to tell them you'll need the imperial firmware flashed onto it.

Go on line search before you dig website. Enter the sites post code /address and a search radius. Any dno cables should come up in the search.

Is this imperial electric DC or something?
