in the flat i rent at mo

[i=p/u]

the cable feeding my cu looks like it is all in one, with one 10mm line , 6 x 15mm neutral and 4 x 4mm cpc,

now it seems like it aint a complete cable but i bet you it would of been awkward to fill the sheath like this...

anything to say knowledgable souls..

if i can find camera lead il upload in a min

 

[telectrix]

can't wait for the pic.

split-con???

split-con???

Seen a spark putting these in when I was subying. I'd never came across them before. Does the white plastic strand split the neutral and earths?

 

[jase]

deffo sounds like split con to me

Yep, it’s called a worm

 

[i=p/u]

here it is

 

[Knobhead]

It’s split concentric. Whoever made it off wants shooting, it’s a mess!

Some heat shrink and it can make a nice job.

 

[alarm man]

it looks a cheap cable tbh,never seen it installed,swa for Electrical Trainee springs to mind,

 

[i=p/u]

now this comes probably about 10m underground from an isolater next door...

funny you should say that i was thinking the same myself

 

[i=p/u]

would that be a code in a periodic inspection as doesnt have any mechanical protection, i,e single not in conduit/trunking or the likes of containment

 

[Guest123]

Bit of a cacky termination TBH.

The other consideration with split-con is that it must be treated in the same way as T&E when it comes to additional protection & RCD's etc.

 

[i=p/u]

well theres no rcd on the supply side of this , mind you probably been in 20 years if not olonger

i was thinking as it over 3m it would require rcd protection... but suppose installed to differnt edition

 

[Knobhead]

The live and the two earth/neutral bunches should have heat shrink. Followed by a trifurcating boot shrunk over the cable crutch. So yes it deserves a code ? ? ? ?

Trifurcating, now there’s a word to play with :icon10:

 

[i=p/u]

well il not play with that word cause i never heard it before

 

[Knobhead]

Have a look in the OED it's there :joker:

 

[Engineer54]

Concentric cable is not a cable that most electricians would have any use for, or come accross too often, except seeing them at DNO service cut-outs. Which is why when they do need to terminate one, they tend to make a pig's ear of them...lol!!

 

[i=p/u]

so is reg 521.10.1 the one covering this, what code would you say id say c2

as for that word tony it comes up about artieries in the body
