I want to use again what looks to be one of the decommissioned cables that (previous storage heating at a guess?) run to the old, unused fuse box. The idea being to make it live again by having it connected to the existing RCD. There are quite a number of these old cables all running to the same point, and no way of tracing the cable I want physically. What is the best was to find the cable I want??
I thought maybe use the continuity test on my multimeter, connect it to L+N at the far end, then work through the decommissioned cables at the old fuse box side and connecting their L+N in turn I should hear the beep when I find the correct one.
Will that work? The cable is getting on for 10m in length, so maybe a multimeter is too puny?
