We had a break down call out on Thursday to a stable yard we have just completed , it turned out that the 500m 95mm three phase sub main that was installed as a single phase for the time being until they can afford a three phase meter upgrade has been compromised on the currently used brown phase and also on the black phase which is dormant at the moment !
The grey phase and neutral bell out fine .
So we have got the yard up and running at the moment , but we need to go back and locate the problem now !
Have any other forum members had dealings with cable fault location gear and can you recommend which is best ?
We have been quoted around £550 + to hire some , but i always prefer to look at buying reconditioned kit at a all be it higher cost rather than pay a dead loss hire fee .
It would not be so bad but the run was moled under two private tarmac roads and strait across the main access yard and lorry park park for the whole complex , without being ducted ( clients request to keep cost down along with using their own labour to lay it ) , BUGGER !!!!!!!!!!!!

But if there happens to be a young lady with a bikini and ampple cleavage passing this may be appropriate
