Mains to the house

[Plasnart]

Sorry Plassy have to correct you here.

On your house you own the FOLCB. (Fused overheard line connection box). You own the wiring from that box to the meter. You own the meter panel, switch board etc. If any of these blow up, you're up for the cost.
However, this still does not allow you to touch it. If you need access to it, you need the power dropped. Well, in reality.

The distributor owns the cable from the pole to house and the meter.

Thanks for that Hodgy. I always thought the FOLCB was the distributors but I stand corrected!
