OVERGROUND, UNDERGROUND C ustomer rang me lamenting that the Network Operator would not change his switchboard meter for the new solar panel install due to the positioning of the Service Fuse. As you can see, the overhead supply cable goes under the verandah rail to the service fuse just above the deck floor. Obviously the upstairs front deck was added after the power was originally connected to the premises. I promptly advised the customer that the service fuse will need to be moved or changed to underground to resolve the problem! THANKS TO ROB WALLIS FOR THIS SHOCKER! $200 IS ON ITS WAY TO YOU.
