Hi chaps. Can someone advise me whether it's possible for excess solar generation to back feed into a neighbours property if the two houses are on a looped supply? And presumably if it is possible, could this neighbour potentially then be charged for what would be imported through their utility...
Hi everyone we are in the process of installing a new heat pump in our Victorian maisonette. The whole house is 4 stories and it was split into two separate flats a few decades ago. The service is looped between us and the upstairs flat. UKPN came around and estimated that we need an upgrade to...
Hi
Just bought this 1960s house, will be doing full rewire. Incoming supply splits and goes through hole in garage to next door. This is a looped supply?
From what I've read this can restrict us getting an electric car charger in future, that I can speak to the dno about unlooping...

I have come across what I think is a looped supply - like a normal incomer but two of them coming up side by side. It's a TN-S arrangement with an earth cable looped between the two incomers and on the the consumer unit. Trouble is it's only about 1mm, although I got a decent ZE of 0.35.

Hi Guys,
I have a looped service in my house, concerned about the cable going next door. It looks old and brittle (I have not touched) . It was installed about 1955, do you think SP Energy Networks would replace the cable
Hi guys,just turned up at a 3 bed mid terrace,am I right in thinking this is a looped service head? Also,am I right to be concerned about what appears to be a leak from the bottom? The earth clamp onto the incomer is also loose.
Got a customer with a 3 phase looped cut out. Only use one of the phases and there is likely a second fuse on the adjacent holder/phase.
I have asked the DNO to take a look and advise as the customer wants an EV charger. With a looped supply you should get dnos advise first. ENA guidance also...

Been asked to advise on a rewire. I think on age alone it's advisable but the following points add to the argument.
Installation age approx 60 years.
This is a "forever Home" so although it may test ok how long will it stay so?
Black T&E throughout. Not a reason to condemn alone but adds to...

Thanks for any help.
Looking at a house today doing the pre-site visit and tests for a partial and maybe full rewire.
The supply is what i think is known as a looped service.
Not come across one and had to do work on it before. other than seeing them around and not much thought given to it.
The supply comes in to...
Hello,
So looking for some advice in advance of getting a visit by a local electrician to see what the general consensus is and whether the job ranges between some quick and easy or full rewire.
In the Lounge of a 1950s semi detached, there are 3 lights operated from a three gang switch. I...
