I had a sudden thought that my "No no no" post might have been offensive to you - certainly not my intention, but I did think about that today!       @ Mick: Yeah, I must admit I never ACTUALLY tested at 1000v - that was just what the mega was capable of doing.  I would test at 250v, and if that was suspicious in terms of insulation breakdown, I would test at 500v.  Nine times out of ten, if the 250v test was suspicious, then the 500v test would show total breakdown, so that pair was taken out of service, marked as "Faulty" in the records, and the service in question was transposed to another good pair. Sorry to all of you reading this, not really familiar with the telephone cable faults lingo!     Mixtel90 said   DO NOT clamp one tab of an OC35 in a vice, connect the vice to neutral then dab live onto either the base or emitter. They go bang and the top flies off at very high speed, embedding it into the wall. NEVER, EVER DO THIS, girls and boys. It's dangerous. :)  (Yes, I've watched it being done!). Crikey!     Ah....no - don't do that! EDIT: I will see if I can find the old mega I used to use, and I will post details and a photo here if I find it. Edited 2024-06-18 17:56 by Grogster
