Good video, reminds me never to install bare cable onto tinder woods lol (only joking). Well, this is how household lighting was installed in 1882 and loads of fires started. Then someone came up with the 1st ed of the Regs




ps, the company in that video manufacture a really good and reliable double pole MCB (incase you ever you need one).

I wonder what the dark mark along the piece of wood before its turned on is? And the obvious groove from d to end of the wood before it chars?
Methinks I wouldn't get the same result if I repeated that experiment with a normal bit of wood!
