Electricity supply resilience

Seeing the post a bit earlier, reminded me of this, previous Googling got nowhere. Does anyone happen to know what height above ground level would its flood protection bus-bar cut out system engage in a regular residential area 240V distribution transformer? Our lowest local one ground level is 5.8m (Cd) and the tide level 08 April 2024 of the report below , got to 5.7m Cd. Also what level SSEN would remotely disconnect a whole area on the predicted elevated tide level issued in an EA flood alert, relative to such a ground level, to pre-emptively protect their above ground kit.



Starting point report from last year

"For safety reasons, and on the advice of SSEN (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks), power was shut off at Hamble Point Marina due to the three sub-stations that also power the submersible pumps being partially below water level. The submersible pumps across the site were operating until the power was isolated."
