Title: Electrical Engineers inside please...
Post by: bohica on April 19, 2014, 07:03:33 PM: Spending Holy Week at our old house. I found these contraptions and I'm wondering what they're called.

They were popular in prewar times - usually used to prevent high voltage electricity from touching the house frame.

Mayroon din conduit pero kahoy lang po kasi dati at wala pa metal o pvc conduit. Kahit wala junction box they've use mecca tube instead to make connection safe. Please check lang ang wire insulation if meron na damage o exposed copper wire.
