Cable break location

[NoSparks]

Breaks in cables often occur. Has anybody any good ideas how to locate the break point?

eg we have an office block in which the cpc is broken. Apart from the obvious ( looking at the fittings), how can we best locate the fault? Is there any method of measuring the length of wire that is intact?

He's probably fixed it by now. Or retrained to be a pilot. The original post was 2009.

Ah well, kept me amused for 10 minutes. Must get the clock in my TARDIS fixed soon and ask Leela - remember her? - to keep me in the present day.

Think we will close this thread as its unlikely the OP will reply as stated 6yrs has gone by, there is possibly new products on the market since this was created so if anyone is interested in continuing the subject it maybe best to create a new thread and take it from there.
