The DNO still has this cable on their network

Miles and miles of it, no update of regulations has required and retrospective action.

This also means that the tiny earth wire from the DNO cable to earth bars in some installations are fine unless the DNO does some work when they would be updated!

Youll be suprised just how old a large proportion of the network is....including cables and switchgear. My current role is to de-commision and replace switchgear from the 1950's and If a 500Kva Transformer is less that 45 years old.....It gets a an oil change and goes back on the system!!!

We still have pre-war (WW2) built overhead lines.

I don't know about other DNOs but all our oil is recycled by ourselves so it is far removed from what make it originally was!
