Looped electricity supply?

I was unsure where to post this, if this is the wrong section i apologise.

I was wondering if anybody could tell me if i have a looped electricity supply by the photo.

Thank you.

    Looks like the vertical cable at the bottom of the company's service cutout is the incomer from the main cable.-

    and the cable from the bottom left is the outgoing loop to another property.

    Looks like a looped supply. What's the rating on the main fuse? If it is 60A or less then a further indication it is probably shared.

    You won't be able to tell - the fuse carrier is marked as 100A and it's probable that that has a 100A fuse in it. Where a smaller fuse has been fitted I would expect a sticky label to say so eg 80A or 60A but I would have no confidence in that

    PS the Company's seals appear to be missing.

    @Netexporter asked:

    Judging from the photo, 100A

    The photo shows the main fuse rating is 100A.

  • Thanks for your replies, the main fuse does state 100A so i'm assuming that's correct.

    When I got I heat pump I was allowed to upgrade my mains fuse from 60 A to 80 A. The engineer came, removed the cover and discovered that I already had an 80 A fuse, despite the fact that the cover was marked 60 A.

    The supply has been updated as some point to a TNCS system. They may well have updated the fuse at the same time, but unlikely. Not ideal if they have.
