The power company are doing some work on our road. and are going to be moving the terminal thing on the side of our house (2nd floor side wall) where the electric comes to the house and feeds both ours and next door (semi-detached). We have seen some dwellings that have a long UPVC bright orange plastic pipe covering the cable for a few meters and wondered why they do this?
Insulation of the wire Animal protection A large bright flag to say to people that this is dangerous, which it is
It is to protect the cable and people and animals. It stops animals chewing and protects in case of hitting the cable.
