[QUOTE="Dranok, post: 539525, member: 34663"] (Industrial inspector spouting forth) I reiterate comments above but emphasize the validation: a quick insulation resistance (500V min) to check the shave wasn't too close, press firmly but *flat* (don't press the point in or you'll just find copper) on what looks like the deepest point of damage. If you find a good reading just wrap it with tape (⅓ overlap) and close up the trunking! But if have any doubts at all, a single layer of shrink is adequate, you only need glue shrink if the enclosure is outdoors or there's some other external influence (e.g. steam, chemical vapour) ... or if your trunking is vertical -- creepage does unexpected things in vertical containment!
