The Antisurge is refering to the Fuse, at 2.5A probably on the supply in.

Has it / is it being used as commercial premises and with a 3 phase supply?
 
As above I cannot believe you haven't had the cover off! Looks like one cable in and multiple cables out. As above, lighting transformer?
 
I'd have had the lid straight off that. No way could I leave it and not know what it was!!

Looks like a power supply of some sort. Somebody's homebrew elv lighting?
A mate text me the pics asking. I'm not actually on the job in question and have no way of getting to it so be a bit hard for me personally to take the cover off
 
Looks to me like an old lighting transformer from when it was popular to put one large transformer for 12v lighting

Sir - you asked a question about something unusual to you aged 31 ( - I guess 89 in your moniker is when you born) - to experienced and learned folk who might know and thus you expressed curiosity.

In my estimation you are not 'being thick', far from it - you have a curious mind - which will serve you well.


Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

Looks like a lighting transformer to me too.
