new installation

[dan.]

what is the point of insulation tests on a new installation using new wire?

 

[binky]

In case you ( plumber, plasterer, builder) ballsed up the installation by sticking a screw though the cable - favaourite trick, trapping wires on lugs for backboxes causing compression fault

hmmm sounds resonable

or the old favoirite...trapping the cables in the trunking lid....Blushing

Mental note...always test with all covers in place
