Just curious. When were chunky green metal 3-phase service heads last installed? Saw one the other day, it had a chunky green cover so you couldn't see the fuses, but it almost looked like there could be a modern plastic cutout under it. It was the same shape, but a lot bigger on all dimensions. 35mm² PVC tails. Couldn't quite see the base and feeder cable (someone had piled all sorts of 5h1t in front of it)

And again, just curious, the meter there had a red LED display, which was off, and you press the button to turn it on and cycle through the readings. How old is this approx? I know the modern ones have LCD displays.

Don't know how long since these were fitted but I'd guess at >20 years
