    Thanks to the channel owner. Has anyone tried the device? Can it accurately pinpoint the location of a wire break, whether the wire is exposed or inside a wall in plastic conduits? And if I have a 50-meter cable with four wires, can the device accurately identify the break and which wire it's on?

    I just use the continuity option on my multimeter for that. I also use a meghometer to test the insulation.

    This was not cheap $315 out the door.

    I connected mine to find a short but its not giving me any continuity to perform the test why is that so?

    The hot and neutral both are conveniently located on these Arc Fault breakers, in older style breakers we would need to track down the exact neutral paired with this circuit ( I think? )
