Nope, 4 bed house built in about 1970. I'll put some more pics up in "Show us your installs" later. By the way, it's a 60A BS88/BS1361 fuse.

Although they don’t use split concentric now, something sticks in my mind about them using it around that time. we were told about it at EMEB’s training collage, they stopped using it due to the outer serving and neutral insulation getting damaged leaving a TN-C-S connection in effect.

Sneaky one that, must remember the possibility, Cheers.
It is always getting harder to differentiate by measurement with the PME of the supplies.

As I say Richard, it was only a short time that they were used. A bit like aluminium wavecon cable, that was a disaster as well.

I could be wrong about them using it U/G. It was something that was stuck in the back of my mind from EMEB 20+ years ago.

Don't reckon your far off mate, I have seen it fed in ducts before (from ryefield) between these little bungalowish sort of things at a 'scheme' for mentally ill people. I bet theres a few like it but you never see them as most people would assume PME seeing a concentric and a PME style cutout.

This one's definitely underground. Comes up through the concrete floor of the garage.
