A bloody big thank you for that.
It brought back some memories. As an apprentice’s we went for a tour of BICC. Sadly now long gone. How many companies could you phone up on Monday “I need 600m of 500mm² cambric singles ASAP” “Can’t get it to you tomorrow, Wednesday OK”.
If you noticed the paper taping on the 33KV cable termination is overlaid with antimonial lead wire to form the stress relief. I don’t want to give too much away as its part of something I’m writing at the moment.
This shows how the cable is terminated.
That was before my time Geordie. But I have worked on the whitewash cables.
i find more amazing the machinery in that video used to make the cables
Great vids, very interesting. I always found the process of MI cable manufacture fascinating too, but can't find any videos of it kicking about the net.
Heres one I think still needs distributing to farmers
