Losing power to house post meter upgrade??

[lurch]

got called back to a rewire I completed 5 years ago. Customer reported intermittent loss of power across the house. I have a swa sub main from a 63amp switch fuse to the CU. I have checked all terminations at CU and switch fuse . . . . all good. Have thrown thenmain switch 4-5 times to see if it is faulty but all seems good.

Customer has advised new meter was installed 5-6 weeks ago . . . Ive given tails a good tug to see if there is anything amiss, but nothing to suggest any issues.

Has anyone come across a faulty meter that could be causing the issue?

Thx in advance.

Noreen ceased to exist many years ago! I should know, I worked for them. We then became United Utilities then ENWL. The meters may have the old Board names on them but the DNOs don't own (or want) them. They were transferred to the suppliers.

Did you localize the fault @lurch ?

Just interested what was causing it...

Not yet. Have asked the customer to keep me updated but have heard nothing yet......

Had a thought ,are they properly -Losing power
Long enough to reset a computer .
(or just got the "Willies" over a odd light flicker as old freezer / hoover cuts in ) ..after reading an article ... (will notice every glitch then)
.... and comments about NAF meter fitters + Plastic CU + Fires
..Would you rate them as nervous sort ?..
As this time of year ,heightens our awareness - having the lights on a lot !

Should be Norweb!

Have you checked the tails in the consumer unit for tightness as they could have been loosened when fitter was putting the tails in to the meter

Please re-read the opening post.

Have the cut out to meter tails been replaced?

0.47 ohms sounds a bit high.Might be a high resistance intermittent fault on the incoming main supply.If its a CNE service,must be under 0.35 ohms.Get the DNO out to test the ELI on their cable.

Maybe not for spelling, but offering a link to the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts ain't that helpful!

@buzzlightyear I think all of your posts may deserve a bad spelling
