V.O.E.L.C.B.

It dawned on me fully today while working in an old holiday chalet circa 1940s.


The man in the next chalet was trying to use his old Black and Decker 1970s car boot sourced electric drill outside on the grass. He was making a wooden clothes hanger with wood and pegs. A jolly good job too.


I had had a quick look inside his chalet as he needs some new sockets. The  fuse box is an old cream coloured Wylex 6 way unit with fuse wire carriers. There is an old Crabtree V.O.E.L.C.B. installed before the fuse box.


As he worked in the garden drilling wood, it dawned on me that he had zero shock protection as he would if he had a R.C.C.B. installed.


It's strange how a picture speaks a thousand words.

  • It seems that no one is going to pick up on a major cause of lost neutrals were bombs, balloons (which I presume were barrage balloons) and aircraft.


    Even back then, during the war there was a major concern about lost  neutrals and PEN conductors in PME distribution networks and attempts were being made to install neutral and PEN fault detection devices to disconnect the supplies.


    It looks like we are seventy years behind T C Gilbert and his peers.
