Could you please tell me what this cable is

[cbd]

Hi.

Could any body please tell me what this cable is in my loft.

It runs into next door and i cant for the life of me work out why it should.

We both have mains cables coming out the ground into the meter box on the front of the house.
So why would we need to be linked in any way?

From the postion where the cable enters the loft it is directly above my circuit box then runs full length on a loft on a beam through a cut out brick in the divide into there home.

Can anyone shed some light









Thanks
Dave

I believe monkey hangings quite popular in Hartlepool, always wondered how you go about hanging a monkey surely it would just climb back up the rope!

Those pesky French spies!!!

Just thinking out of the box here. They probably shackled their hands together. I think that is always best practice when dealing with a primate that's been trained in espionage!

If I was hanging a monkey I'd hang it by its hands, and starve it. But that's just me! As for the cable... a fine copper thread? Still sounds like a coax to me. But I await the outcome with excitement!

can i ask a question, you know they tell us that you should allways remove light bulbs and things when you do an ir test.

if someone is piggybacking of my electricity and i just happen to do an ir test would that trip there rcb if they even botherd to use one?

call me suspicious but could a previous tennant have attempted to tap off next doors electrics? to save money? lol

I doubt it unless they are piggy backing of that individual circuit your testing and even then most likely not as you would have isolated the electrics to that circuit to do your IR. It would definitely give you a poor result that would need investigating where you would hopefully find the problem, and may well make the neighbours scratch their heads if suddenly the dimmer in their front room stopped working.

If you want to see if someone is tapping in to your electrical installation, you could turn off all your appliances and lights and unplug everything. Put a metre on your mains tails and see if any power is being drawn from it. If there is, you have a problem.
