Looking at that the cables are surprisingly close to the surface, 1.2 metres down doesn't seem deep enough.
Could be shocking if there's a short.Looking at that the cables are surprisingly close to the surface, 1.2 metres down doesn't seem deep enough.

Deep ploughing could still hit it. Hit a hollow, and the plough will go deeper going out of it.They say its below deep ploughing level, I haven't a clue what that depth is, but is it deep enough to be safe, it doesn't seem like it with the current the cables are going to be carrying.

Isn't that always the case? I've sat in on one course and ended up re-writing it for them.I wish it was. I'm getting a certificate to say I've been on a course training me in something I learned for 3 years full time. It's like sending a car mechanic on a 3 day car maintenance seminar.
In practice it isn't even that as the seminar leader has no experience in this field.
But yes, Freiburg is lovely. Fortunately I live and work North of the city.
No, and it's not shown on current* maps.Workmen didn't know a thing about it!!!

It used to be overground, via poles, but they were removed under a previous owner, replaced with an underground cable.
Only one pole remains, on council owned land, before the substation.
*No pun intended.

I've left them alone. But there is a decent, and continuous, supply of mince pies being sent my direction
