M.I.C.C. in House. Why?

Zoomup

Today I came upon some orange served M.I.C.C. cable running from the loft in a bungalow to a single metalclad socket. It may have been an immersion heater supply, but the copper cylinder has been removed. It appears to be quite big, perhaps 4.0mm2 or 6.0mm2.

 

I wondered just why it was installed in a domestic bungalow.

 

Apprentice training by an electrician father perhaps. Used as it was available. But the extra work terminating it would not warrant using spare cable from your works would it?

 

Bemused of Norfolk.?

    our school was littered with the stuff, I always found it hard to comprehend someone screwing it every 12", considering the school was ¼ of a mile long and built from red and glazed brick

     

    Still see loads in pubs, for hand driers etc. I wonder who came up with that idea

     

    and its ubiquitous in churches where it blends in perfectly with the stone when unsheathed MICC is used
