Thanks David. It just came as such a surprise to find this type of xfmr being used here. I'm keeping my eyes peeled down every Norfolk back-lane now looking for more.

The ones I saw in Kent were also feeding just one or two houses. I guess the utilities here have finally decided that it isn't "beneath" them to adopt some American-style techniques where it's beneficial.

Any idea how long these xfmrs have been installed in Scotland?
