Not stupid at all , you'll never know if you don't ask, we're all learning all the time, except Specs , of course who knows absolutely everythingI've heard people talk about belling out and know its what you do to identify cables. But what tools do you use? Sorry if this is a basic/stupid question?

No I bloody didn't !! They were cotton braided. We used to convert those huge overhead cranes to radio control. Remove the cab controls so the driver had to work on the shop floor until they wanted the crane. Two weeks building the panel at the workshop then one week on site , 12 hour days and a lot of travelling but interesting work. Crane motors were all slip-ring with old fashioned drum controllers which had to be replaced by the controls in our panel.did you use any old VIR cables and fused neutrals when working there?! (keep everything to date!)

Long time ago now , not only has the water stopped running under the bridge, the bridge is no longer there.
