    E7 with 2 meters (on/off peak), but current only goes through one?

    Advice after drilling through electrical cable above plug socket

    Hi all, I have stupidly drilled through the same electrical cable TWICE 1 inch apart. This is above a twin plug socket which obviously now doesn’t work. The holes are about 1m above the socket.

    Cables running through accessories to feed another circuit.

    There was a post yesterday, can't recall the exact one.

Now I don't know...
