OK
I'm curious about the covered box over the masthead. Is it a phone box or an alarm box. Either which one, why is it there. Not in a good safe location judging by the photo. Working on it could be a veryu hair raising experience to say the least.
Another question, it appears that the service conductors might be in direct contact with the underside of the soffit and fascia boards. Mr. Photographer, whats the story here?

Three phase only, and the fouth wire (neutral) is installed because it will be used as the path for a fault - Yes?
However, if this neutral was used as intended, then I would call it a 208Y/120 volt, 3 Phase 4 wire installation.
