Any electricians out there? Could you explain why this circuit breaker is locked and sealed? All the others can be operated normally.

This one also seems to be off.

  1. The full switch bay is sealed.

    You, as a non electrician, you can ignore it.

    You need only to worry about it if you have a licence from your net provider, as an electrician.
    I don’t know what is down in the switch bay, I would guess it’s the meter.

    So my guess is for a safety switch off.
    And if any of the seal are broken, you pay a fine + a guess on your power consumption.

  2. It’s on the side before the meter, so the part owned by the electricity provider.

    It probably is in preparation for adding a Gateway to the meter(to connect it to the internet), for a while the Standard required/recommended an extra Breaker for that. And that’s in front of the meter as you don’t have to pay the power your meter/gateway consumes.

  3. You could ask at r/elektroinstallation usually people there are quite helpful (as long as you’re not asking on how to DIY something which should be done by an electrician).
