    Is there any way of knowing what amp the fuse linked to my old ESB meter without pulling it?
    It has 60/80 on the box. Is it written on the meter anywhere?

    Thinking of putting in an electric shower (not myself, I'll be getting an electrician) but was wondering if I had to get the ESBN involved to upgrade the meter first/during.

    Why do they say 60/80 - could it be 60?
    Would 80 be enough to run electric shower and other normal appliances?

    you will only have a max 63amp on your own distribution board anyway
    esbn fuse should be fine
    when your sparks is doing the work he may upgrade your tails and issue a cert for the esb(esbn have a charge for this)
    they should check your fuse capacity then

    Because the fuse holder is designed to take either a 60 or an 80A fuse.
