We are having lots of flooding here in Leicester and it got me thinking. If your house was to flood to a serious height, lets say above 1 feet of water, the chances are the property's electrical supply cables will become submerged.
There is a good chance something is going to short at the supply end. My question is, what protection does the DNO have on the suppy entering the property? will it trip at the substation? how long would it take? is there a chance all that water could electrocute anybody in contact?
