[QUOTE="misssweden, post: 382432, member: 20541"] The CNE service cable consists of an aluminium core which is the live conductor, a layer of insulation around it and then neutral consists of copper strands wrapped around the outside. All protected by a layer of XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene (I don't do spelling at the bes of times :) ) around the outside. Most builders have an idea of what is needed, but your neighbour needs to make sure that the ducting is BLACK. The joint hole is dug around the .1 PILC cable to give the jointers space to connect your new service cable to the mains. If you happen to be around when they are there, have a look what the cable looks like inside. PILC cables was manufactured before PVC was used to the insulation around the cores is made of oiled paper and it lasts for donkeys years. I opened up a PILC service cable from 1953 the other day and it was still in good condition. [/QUOTE]
