    Cable break location

    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?

    Power Break MCB

    Folks Anyone come across a make of MCB going by the name of Power Break? Not the big GE ones, these are CU type MCB's, possibly Italian in origin. I've got a gazillion of them and not one carries anything to show it's Breaking Capacity which is a bit of an issue :O) Thanks in advance :O)
