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.?

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

    I've carried out many quinquennial EICRs for churches  and MICC can suffer badly with corrosion to the extent that the outer sheath has completely been “eaten” away on some of the stonework.

    Grey PVC sheathed MICC is preferable and even less visible.
