I've got a photo of a CU in China that'll knock the pants off of anything you've shown so far!! lol!!
I looked at this CU (if you can call it such) ...pulled at a few cables to see where they were going, but after half an hour or so gave up, ...couldn't see how or what was happening or what anything was doing. This was to a small 2 bed apartment... Wanna see it ?? lol!!
OK, here it is.... See if any of you can make out what's going on...lol!!
This DB was installed just 13 to 14 years ago believe it or not lol!! The Meter is quite sophisticated it can be contacted by mobile phone to credit it's account. If only the rest of the installation was up to that same technology ...lol!!!
Not really a pic of shame, but maybe just maybe, if someone had not left copper showing, a life could have been saved.

Bet its not going to be a tap.Just this afternoon, in my wholesaler, a gentleman was buying 25 meters of flex to run a cable through a hosepipe down his garden.
Lord only knows what he was going to put on the end of it!

Maybe i take my hat off to him if he manages to thread 25m of flex through a flexible hose.... a task that aint gonna be as easy as he thinks
Is this an old Wylex 3036 CU converted to a DIN rail arrangement?? Might explain why there's no cover to be seen, ...it wouldn't fit the new arrangement ...lol!!!
Probably from "The Electricians Guide to the Building Regulations"
