I apologize for accidently posting this in another thread a few minutes ago. Maybe a moderator can delete it from there.
I need to find a good instrument for tracing some circuits in a building that has had wire and cables strung all over the place in the last 35 years.
The building has a 3-phase supply that supplied a lot of electric space heating when it was built in the early 70's. Much of that has been abandoned and replaced with an oil-fired system. There are sub-panels all over and an assortment of wire in EMT, conduit, and NM cables run everywhere you can imagine.
The problem is to determine where the wires all go and the 3-phase circuitry seems to befuddle ordinary circuit tracers.
Any suggestions on what might be suitable equipment for running down which cables are powered by which breakers, and for detecting which cables may be abandoned and not connected to anything?
