[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 549743, member: 250"] Impossible to conclude anything from the information given.. And you have made no mention of the reason(s) why you think the 16mm SWA is faulty? I think you need to prove continuity of all conductors.. R1, R2, Rn and the armour. Then confirm insulation resistance between all conductors, and armour, before you could even hazard a guess if there are any issues with the SWA.? I think you also need a calibrated test meter that can zero the leads, before attempting any continuity measurements. Random guess work testing, without any idea of what results you should expect is just a waste of time in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
