or rats.
Could be but its not all the way round the cable just a section on top.I've seen the outer sheath cut like that to place bonding clamps on to earth the sheath before.
But no idea why it's been done here, unless it was forgotten about.
Wouldn't that removal of the cable sheath need a fix? And frankly it looks like it's been left too long already ...
I'll be fixing it next week, going to be fun as its a metre and a half down a man hole cover.Wouldn't that removal of the cable sheath need a fix? And frankly it looks like it's been left too long already ...
Looks like a Dogs dinner. Over sheath with some Ray Chem.
just for you......Or rat pick axes digging for copper! View attachment 37854Oh no I've turned into @telectrix - everything is a song, video or a GIF!
I'd also be very careful before I worked in that manhole....or whatever you call them nowadays. Those two cables that run straight through from left to right look like they're very old and might be a hazard if disturbed.
If someone has the time could they explain the Spiking of the cable, is it to prove phases ? Are those cables individual incoming feeds from a transformer to a factory or industrial unit?
Your replies are much appreciated im curious to find out why its been left as armoured cables have sheath repair kits that could be used.
So those cables are dead and just left in ducts if spiked, Im wondering because surely spiking a cable to work on and then re energising after work has been completed without repairing or re jointing would be seriously bad practice and possibly fatal.
Im basically asking if a cable has been spiked is it now useless ?
