Thanks a heap Ray!.

BTW Ray,
Just looking at that third picture.
Is that a split in the insulation on that red phase wire?.

Well spotted, yes there is a cut in the insulation of that red cable.

Thanks for posting my photo's. I will keep my camera handy while doing my jobs all over the place.

Very interesting photo's.

What does HT, LT and TSP exactly mean?

Thanks,

Arend

Hi Arend:

HT High Tension, usually 11000 Volts.
LT Low Tension, 230 / 400 Volts.
TPS Tough plasic sheethed. That's the white cable used in wiring up houses, in this case 3 core: Red, Ø. Black, N. Green, Earth. ( not supposed to be used for streetlights unless in conduit.)

For streetlights nowadays 6 or 10mm² Cu Neutral screened cable is used. Previously 4 mm² single core with single thick or double layers of insulation was used.

I make you a close up photo.
