L.V. and E.L.V, cables running together.

Zoomup
Somebody recently referred to this video clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMD5VwroawU Time 5.50 onwards approx.


In the plaster of the wall, household mains cables are run with an E.L.V. bell wire in metal channelling.


Is this really so bad, as the singles are double insulated 6181Y? Would we worry about a bell wire crossing a T&E cable run surfaced wired?


Comments please.

    That EV plus cable is a nice idea for the work at home office in a garden summer house idea as well, telephone and power in the same trench. I can imagine that preserving the separation at the terminations could  be quite fun though, as well as getting enough shielding for EMC purposes. Box in box perhaps.

    Also puts power over ethernet in its proper place.
