[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 477497, member: 250"] I can remember that, but can't find the full guide... But this voltimum article from 2010 was probably somewhere around the same era ?? [URL="https://www.voltimum.co.uk/articles/q-day-what-lifespan-twin-and-earth-cables"]https://www.voltimum.co.uk/articles/q-day-what-lifespan-twin-and-earth-cables[/URL] Where it says [COLOR=#2980b9][I]"Most manufacturers will state figures of around 25 years on average, but it is known that some well-installed and lightly loaded systems may last 50 years."[/I][/COLOR] Also over recent years we have had an increase in the number of final circuits on your average domestic installation... So more circuits = Less load per circuit = Longer lifespan as well!!! e.g. how long has it been since anyone would have thought it normal to just have a single lighting or single socket circuit supplying a whole installation?
