Hello,
please excuse me. This is my first forum post. If I’m doing something wrong, please correct me.
I bought an older house built in 1961. In my kitchen, there is an outlet with three slots in a crescent shape. Two crescents face inward, and the middle one faces outward. What is this? Is it a high-voltage connection for a stove? There is already a cable coming out of the wall where the stove was in the kitchen...
Thank you very much

If I were the original poster, I would be really curious to know what kind of nailed antenna cable is running to those electrical outlets :-(

Thank you very much for your answers,
Yes, there is indeed a thicker additional cable running to the Terko junction box mentioned.
What is such a "non-polarized" junction box used for, or what could I need something like this for?
I assume I will have to renew the wiring anyway.

A specially protected circuit, a voltage different from the standard mains supply, for example a 110V (110V) network, or a direct current supply.
Something where it was important to ensure that only the intended devices could be connected.
As I said, it couldn’t have been used for high voltage or similar, so the original purpose probably no longer applies. If you want to know more, you would need an electrician to investigate what type of cable this is and what it supplies.
