Our neighbor needs a little help updating his service board. I have attached a photo. Please suggest best practice. What the photo doesn't show is that this house is supplied by a wire which is strung along the rafters of a second building with only three or four taped splices and changes in wire diameter from 2.5mm to 1mm, as well as some holes in the insulation from UV damage. Further up it enters a second building where it has it's own 60 amp knife switch, which is attached to another smaller knife switch by 1.5mm wires. The second knife switch is then connected to a third building by a 1.5mm wire through a conduit which sags deeply in the middle about 3 meters above the ground and is almost certainly full of water as both ends of the single piece of conduit are open to the elements. From there the wire leads through the rafters of the third building until it comes down to connect to a 15 amp breaker and then into some device which I cannot identify, but looks to be potentially a type of earth leakage breaker but has no test button. And from there a much thicker wire connects to another 60 amp knife switch, and then out to mains power. No earthing is involved in any way, at least not intentionally.

I wouldn't laugh too loudly as this is a typical installation around where I live. It probably has been like this for years and everyone in the house know how to use it, and it caters for their needs.
But if you get some new farang wanting to connect all sorts of goodie, then the whole lot needs redoing.
