Am running 10mm house wire in trunking between mains and hybrid inverter. Just discovered a small tear (under 1cm) in my live wire insulation, earth is also damaged at that point - about 10cm of insulation.
None of the conductors looks damaged - just the insulation.
Have wrapped Nitto insulation around it - is this fine?
I normall sleeve the damage insulation and if I cant fit sleeving, I wrap rubber tape (like you get in the joint kits) with a small cable tie or nitto tape.
Comments are my opinion, unless regulations are attached to support the comment. This is social media, not a court room.

We wire up factories using house wire in P8000 and P9000 metal trunking. Every single factory I work in , the lights in the facotry are wired using P1000, some with 5 amp sockets, others with rows and rows of 5 ft fittings. Has something change that I am notaware of?
