Ban-all-sheds manufacturing division?

Given the brevity of your response, I should perhaps share with you that I resisted the temptation to cite ....

It doesn't need to be done in Pyro, but as I fancied having a go, I might as well use it for something real. Unless of course I find that my best efforts end up looking like a microbore plumbing system designed by Heath Williams.....

...and then asking whether this what you planned to present to the BCO as evidence of your degree of competence to install wiring in the planned fashion

Kind Regards, John.

It's all down to practice.

Well I've got 100m to practice with....

Is the first one T&E? It looks quite badly twisted on the horizontal one.

bare copper outside??

bare copper outside??

Indeed, is there a problem with that?

Will probably last a lot longer than the T&E before they start to get IR problems

Downside of bare copper outside is it can discolour, but it lasts a long, long time. We've stuff in the air on overhead lines that has been there since before WW2

Verdigris can look really nice.

only that it might go green thats all..

That's the reason why bare copper pyro was used.

It is on a church and the dull copper or even light verdigris colour looks absoloutly in keeping with a building like this.

Better than the mess of T&E that was there before.

Cable has come - ****-me it's heavy.

Haven't unwrapped it yet to see if I can get at the ends for some IR tests.


EDIT - I did ask what the deal was with hazards re the powder, but then I remembered the Wiki article.

But....

Step 12:
Go wash your hands. Magnesium oxide is poisonous, and must not be ingested.



Ingestion: No hazard expected in normal industrial use. Practically non-toxic by ingestion.

Is it the potting compound that's toxic?

As far as I know magnesium oxide is more or less harmless unless you go chugging it.

I have no idea what's in the potting compound though, the label should have all the required information..
