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.

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.
