My dropwire comes to the apex of my property and then follows the bargeboard and facia for the length of the property before going through the front door frame to a junction box and then up into the loft.
The woodwork is being replaced and I intend to take the dropwire through a new hole at the apex direct into the loft.
Should pull the heavy cable the length of the loft to a junction box and master socket by the hatch or should have the junction box by the entry point and run thin internal type cable the length of the loft?
The reason for the question is that we had thunder and lightening last night and I'm not sure about having a heavy conductor running from the top of a telegraph pole through the length of my loft
I'm guessing that the small gauge internal wire may act as a better fuse then the heavy cable.
Thanks for any comments.
