Lead Wiring...
My Sister has just bought an old house pre-20th century house. We've found a
couple of mains cables running from the fusebox that have a lead sheath (they looked just like the modern plastic ones until I scratched the paint off and they revealed shiny lead. Not sure yet where they run, but my hunch is the lighting circuits. Getting them out will be very difficult (especially for my sister!) What current would these be normally rated at? Could they be dangerous - how can I tell? Is there any way of safety testing them? Any other comments? Thanks, Matthew |
