To conduct the test, submerge the cable in water. While submerging the cable, make sure to keep both ends of the cable dry and out of the water. Since air acts as an insulator and water is partially conductive, if there is a breakdown in insulation in the wire cable, electricity will leak into the water and can be detected by a megohmmeter. Place one probe in the water, and another probe on one of the ends of the wire. The readings should result in very large numbers. If not, the electricity...
