[QUOTE="kelvfoozinda, post: 251536, member: 16500"] All the outer of the old pilc cable does is end up acting as an earth path in a massive fault, like a digger going through it! Our jointers are not even allowed to re-terminate a pilc if the head is damaged, now a joint must be done outside with a new service head and wavecon/concentric supply into the building. The faults they seem to have are on consac cables more than pilc's, with stories of repeated visits for repair etc and flames coming out from the joins in between paving slabs! Oh, and pilc would cost a bloody fortune nowadays, copper cores and tonnes of lead. [/QUOTE]
