Morning

Has anyone experience with the old (1950's) oil filled paper insulated cables.

A client is redoing a block of flats in stages. He has been told that the main panel is the biggest issue (I disagree but there you go)

Oil filled cables was long before my time. I know they are used in HV but thats not my area. Is it possible to reterminate these things in the short term.

The oil has started to leak from some points which i guess means the effectiveness of the insulation is reduced.

I have suggested we replace them first but someone higher up the food chain (AIA inspector) said the panel is a biggewr problem (it is a big problem but feels like putting cart before the horse)

He will have to replace them but wants the panel done first.

Any advice/direction/suggestions appreciated.
