Hi
The section of 6 core alarm cable which was fitted to run to the external sounder has been outside now for some time. The end has been taped up with insulating tape.
When I went up to have a look at it I found that it had been blowing about in the wind and over time the external sheath had worn away and one of the internal cores was worn through as well.
I may be able to cut the damaged section out, but I am not sure.
I can not replace the cable, but I would like to test it to give me piece of mind. What would be the best way to test the insulation between the cores without damaging it. I understand that the cores are rated to 60AV ac.
Any help would be much appreciated.
