    The DNO arrived yesterday and replaced my existing 80 Amp fuse with a new plastic 80Amp fuse. I thought I had a 100A fuse but no 80 Amps it is.

    Did you have 80A fuse prior or was it 60A? and the DNO came to check, with the intention of fitting a new fuse carrier with a pre installed upgraded 80A fuse.

    Distribution Network Operator – Cut-out Types & Ratings Guidance:

    Black Plastic Cut-Out (Circa 1960s to 1990s)

    If presented with this type of cut-out the LCT device installer must assume
    that the fuse size in the cut-out is 60A. If the installation designer’s
    calculations confirms that the customer’s installation total load will not
    exceed 60A at any time then there is no need for a DNO assessment and
    the install can proceed and an appropriate notification sent to the DNO.
