[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 3857, member: 250"] That reminds me of my younger days doin my apprenticeship where one of the skills i woz taught was making off mineral insulated cables for fire alarm instalations. our old boss would get you to make of shorts lenghts, putting the screw or crimp POT gland on the end then we had to check the insulation resistance.. we had a wind-up crank handle megger in those days.. which could chuck out quite a belt! the boss would say.. you need to sepeate the ends of the wires before you megger test it. So I grabbed hold of the two conductors to make sure they were appart.. mean while my boss had started cranking the megger on then other end of the cable.. that made you jump:O:O either that or they would just stick the croc clips on your hand & crank the handle!!!
