Hi
In one light switch an unused cable has been terminated by taping over the conductors.
During landlords electrical safey inspection (not reqd in Scotland but never mind) this was picked up and id'd as a category 2. I feel duty bound to sort this out even though the electrical check is not required by law.
Is is as simple as termina ting each wire with a bit of choc block inside the backbox? Or, should I terminate the cable in a circular junction box and push it into the drywall.
The other end of the cable lives in the loft and will be terminated with a circular box.
Advice much appreciated
Adrian
