Regs on redundant cable

What is the regs on terminating unused cable or even cores of an SWA cable. I know sometimes we can’t remove the cable completely sometimes due to being impractical.

  • I recall being told that by an old timer

    an old steel works electrician (think large DNO DC supplies sort of era) told me that if anything was disconnected but not terminated, he would drive a nail through it to short the cable out so it wasn't possible for it to be accidentally energised.


    Seemed a good idea to me, but mentioning it now causes people to recoil in horror
