What exactly are you wanting to know?

It's Schneider Ringmaster switch gear. Has someone dug into or piled through a cable? Has something leaked onto busbars? First thing I'd be looking for is the maintenance log.

Anyone you know who can work on it, replace it….no maintenance log, interesting comment, roof was replaced on this switch last year. Potential leak but seems severe.

Water dripping onto busbars can yield interesting results. Anyone I could recommend would be on the wrong side of the Irish Sea. There's bound to be someone reasonably close who works on this sort of switchgear - perhaps speak to a local Schneider agent or even Schneider themselves for recommendations. If this was a leak it would be a good idea to commission a full report and test. Chances are a bit of cleaning and some new insulators will go a long way, but this isn't something for people to monkey about with, unless they know what they're doing.
