[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 501982, member: 250"] But.. A cable can be live.. with nothing else connected at the other end.. You have only read a Voltage.. what you need to know is there actually any Current flowing? e.g. a lamp holder with no bulb in it could be live.. (A voltage) but is drawing no power (No current flowing)... The other end of your live cable could be just terminated in a box nextdoor with NOTHING connected to it! I am guessing this friend who opened it up to test with a "multi-meter" is not an electrician? Find a local electrician with a clamp-meter to pop round and test it, to see if any current is flowing and to offer their suggestions.... Guinness [/QUOTE]
