My mate who I went to college with has recently moved back to Lithuania and sent over some photos of the old Soviet Union era wiring.
Line & Neutral, no CPC and the Conductors aren’t identifiable. The cores are aluminium. No Consumer Unit inside the flat, just a 3 pole MCB in the big Meter box along with every other flats 3 pole MCB.
He thinks it dates from the late 1940s to mid 1950s. I found it quite interesting.
He has now rewired it all with a split load RCD consumer unit by the looks. Unsure of the manufacturer though.
Anyone have any idea on the type of cable that was used?

I guess theres a lot of work over there then if all the sparks are needing rewire everything across the country!
