Discuss Neferious wiring to the hot side of an electricity meter in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

RCBO? is that a Rocket Control Blast Orifice, like the one fitted to the Endeavour?
 
I did an EICR a couple of years back.... a meter monkey had removed the off peak meter and had looped the supply from the head directly into the CU..... so a real dodgy situation.

Being on the meter side of the install I wrote up the report, stated that I was concerned about fraud and submitted it with my invoice ....they paid me, never been back!
 
We had a very similar thread not long ago - have a search for it......
You have a good memory, we did have a very similar thread but unfortunately it was started by a troll who was replying in his own thread using multiple user accounts so it was deleted at the same time when I banned him.
 
Just tell your friend to flag it up with the DNO. I take it that there wasn't a hydroponics set up in the loft? Do you know what the bypass circuit was powering and how much of a loss the supplier would have suffered? All I'd be worried about is any financial liability. If it's all down to the late Frank then honesty is the best policy. If in doubt get some legal advice just in case the DNO decides to look back at consumption and calculate a loss that they could claim back off Franks estate.
 
Wow I did not know that (obviously) thanks for telling.
