After re-wiring the upstairs ring main I tested one of the sockets with the first appliance to hand; unfortunately this was an angle grinder.
Inevitably once started ("oh good, the sockets work") it then wrested itself from me, scored a line down my leg and writhed across the floor then through a lifted floorboard. By the time I'd switched the socket off it had stripped the insulation off a section of my new cable! It's taken off the outer sheath and also the inner sheath of just one of the wires.
Can I get away with binding this in insulation tape, then putting the whole thing into a junction box, but without actually connecting it to the terminals, i.e. using it to mechanically protect the cable?
Yours, Nathan
