[QUOTE="Sukhoi, post: 273215, member: 19740"] If meter box is flush type (sunk into outside wall) electricity supply companies prefer for tails/cable to supply C.U. to be installed through bottom corner of meter box (even though their instructions might instruct top entry). This is incase rain water enters the cavity and penetrates into the top of the meter box & hence into meter, cut-out etc. If any gap in hole left where tails/cable pass, fill with intumescent foam. Normally electricity supply company will supply double pole isolator (usually M E M make). [/QUOTE]
