One thing to note: You're also checking for which wires do NOT show continuity. Make sure only one matches. Brand new runs should be simple, verifying existing ones have potential problems you want to be cautious of.
I have to modify my agreement. In this case, I'm looking only for one wire. I know where the others came from because there's only 4 and I pulled them in through 20 feet of pipe. In a manufacturing plant, where there's been lots of previous work, you need to be more careful. But you still wouldn't check every wire. In my 40 years of experience in major manufacturing plants, I've seen cabinets with bundles of spare wires 50 thick. We never checked every wire, when all we needed to find is one. Of course, we'd follow the conduit to confirm we know its source. Thanks...
nice method, thanks
You're welcome. Thank for watching!

Imagine if he had marked the wires,with tape one by one,prior to pulling them😂
The principle applies to wiring in general, not just new runs.
That's silly. Thanks for watching.
@@bobblum5973 Agree. Make sure all power is OFF!
Imagine if you followed the crew that pulled the wires in 3 weeks ago and didn't mark them.
@@manabouthome Exactly!
