    What is the general consensus on the load end of the cable? Terminate each core in a separate terminal? 


    If it is redundant, how can there be a load?




    Stray reactive electrical voltages?

    See paragraph 75 in HSR25. The duty holder must take all reasonable steps to ensure that disused equipment does not become inadvertently energised such that danger may arise. That requirement extends through the life of the installation so it would be difficult to comply without ensuring ends are appropriately arranged.
