Is this type of installation common, I don't think I have seen anything quite like it anywhere else.
An extremely common item of which there will be thousands located around the country. It is unlikely that comms will be fitted to this type of unit unless it is feeding a critical load and even then it would be a common alarm linked to something else.
Don't forget that these are distribution items and as such there is a common communication link in so far as someone would soon telephone somebody if the power was off.
