Old Industrial Switchgear.

"Well my dear, when you have finished your cocktail and visited the powder room, would you like to come and see my collection of fascinating industrial switchgear?"

So, who remembers this stuff?

  • Fortunately, there have been no known deaths in the family caused through asbestos inhalation. I have however, worked with most of the older switchgear, either to strip out from indusrtial/commercial buildings or used as training aids in electrical workshops. It always surprised me how 'over engineered' the fused switch enclosures appeared, perhaps with good cause now looking at some of the modern enclosures.


    I found the Merryhill link interesting as I remember lifting a vinal tiled kitchen floor similar to the one illustrated back in the eightties.
