Twin & Earth in tree (pic)

[Lectrician]

A tree was being felled on site. It had a flood light in it, and was covered in ivy. I isolated the feed, removed the light, but couldn't find the cable tangled in amongst the ivy.

This explains why

Seen it many times with fencing wire, but first for twin and earth.

Flippin' 'eck!

Every day's a school day, eh?

What's the derating factor for T&E encased in tree?

 

[EFLImpudence]

It looks like tree-core and earth to me.

This could be a fir risk resulting in a pile of ash

2.5 T&E for sure

It's around 2 inches in. It was an elm tree. Probably installed in the late 80's.

I always wondered what a branch circuit was.

Surely that's "treerating factor"?

I'm glad you got to the Root of the problem, bet it was tough until you twigged what the issue was

 

[Mikefromlondon]

I am stumped!

 

[bernardgreen]

Is it a red current bush ?

One of the 'rings' on that tree doesn't look quite right.
