Presumably Gron/Gul Jord means green/yellow earth, but what about Biledare?

Intranslatable, but it refers the bare earth wire that follows the aluminium shielding. I think the same think is used on some American cables? Help with terminology appreciated.

The connections don't hint at an isolated ground system, so is this just some sort of redundant grounding for safety?

It's an effect of having two earth wires in the same cable. You need to use both, since the one connected to the shield is downsized compared to the live wires, which is not permitted per the wiring regulations. I still don't get why they designed the cables this way. If they wanted a isolated or high integrity earth, they should not have downsized the shield earth. And why on all cables for indoor use? Cables for direct burial only have the shield earth. [Linked Image]
