    View image at your own discretion

    What wound anyone recommend to repair the exposed single insulation from the thermo plastic conductors on x14 electrical meters? Code 2 on EICR due to storage of goods in a large room might bash into the basic insulation and cause a gigmatic explosion. Is there an insulating material to use?
