It's a transformer - door bell?
Yes it should have a cover.
Yes it should have a cover.
Probably a doorbell transformer and yes it should have a cover on, the cable at the top (twin and earth with black and red cores) will be at 240v
It certainly should.
Assuming that feed to it is at mains voltage (which it very probably is) that is very dangerous with all those exposed connections, and needs urgent attention.
It is a transformer, possibly for a doorbell or somesuch

It might be worth trying to find out what (if anything) it is currently used for. If, for example, it is an ancient left-over of a door bell, no longer used, you could just have it removed.
That consumer unit is far from ancient, seemingly much younger than the transformer. I find it hard to believe that the transformer was like that (with no cover), and left like that, when the CU was installed.

Follow the grey wire at the top and see where it goes to. Maybe its not connected to anything..
Hmm. Thought it would go to the consumer unit.
i dont suppose you have any sort of voltage tester?
Ok. Turn off the main switch on the consumer unit and see where the grey wire goes. Take a photo if u not sure.
