Following on from my recent DC isolator replacement, I bought another as they seem to have a new design. They are only £10 a pop including delivery from China (alliexpress) and I received it in less than 1 week, I don't understand how this is even possible.
This one easily comes apart I am very impressed, heavy ceramic body with a thick copper conductor bar and nice flat stud surface, and this time M10 brass nuts. Also has a rubber gaskets to keep it airtight.
I have not used it yet but looks like a better design and a cheaper price.

I always do my spins for the old/conventional meters, and have never had a single success! It will be interesting to see if that changes when we get our smart meter (s?) in the new year... (and how you do it!)
Maybe it's my fault for submitting my readings within 24hrs of the month end?

Perhaps they just can't believe the size of your numbers? It must be a high-risk account (for them) either if a regulator should want to do an audit or if they need to demonstrate an understanding what customers are doing. Not many people have enormous account balances, even if they do draw them down! (The VB concept would probably be beyond the understanding of most people.)
(but I do have another friend whose supplier wants to put him on £2 per month, but he likes his 2% cashback so keeps on paying £100 or whatever he owes, taking regular lumps out...)
