Just the wire insulation is missing about 2mm. The copper is undamaged. The outside jacket I have peeled back to see how bad it was.wa8yxm wrote:enblethen wrote:
If only the outer jacket is cut, tape it up and apply a coating such as 3M Scotchcoat.
If conductor insulation is damaged, replace it completely.
Wire should be 10/2 with ground, not 10/3!
Full agreement Tape and seal or even just seal Lots of products out there good for this like Flex Seal or GOOP (Power off while sealing)
Also is the cut just in the OUTER jacket or is the wire itself exposed. IS the wire cut? If wire cut then splice properly if not just seal it up.
That being the case just tape up with 3M Electric And go have a beer.! The tape is good to over 600 volts.
