White Cable

Former Community Member

I'm working on the design for the extension of a school and the electrical contractor says that the existing building supply is the only original cable in use and has a white core that dates it pre 1967.

Any ideas of what a white core cable is (other than MICC)?

  • PS it may have a reduced neutral, so if the idea is to have lots of single phase loads, rather than rotating machinery, it may need to be redone anyway, certainly core sizes need verification.

    And beware of asbestos pads in fuseholders from that era, pre 1970 or so folk were still installing lots of it.
