A client contacted us because he wanted to make a voltage change since it was at 127v, and increase the power, of course at Eléctrica Mallorca we do not sign electrical bulletins without reviewing the installations, well when we began to review the installation it was discovered The cake, it turns out that they had made a lot of splices only with insulating tape, something that is prohibited in the low voltage regulations but not on a whim but because a house can catch fire quickly and then everything is regrets, after hard work After cleaning up the entire installation and completely redoing the electrical panel, we were able to complete the documentation and ask the company to service our fuse box at 230v, the normalized voltage for all of Europe.

Splices must always be made in junction boxes and with power strips. No duct tape.

In fact, there could have been a fire in this house. If you look at the following photo you will see how there are burned cables.

The person or company that did this must not have been aware of the danger of using old cables and not protecting them as they should.

In this other image you can see the new 230v fuse box that I have integrated into the façade.

The old fuse box was left pending disassembly by the distribution company.
