Hi, Jim! Hubby is no translator, but speaks English quite well, so I always ask him for advice when I'm in doubt about a technical term. He knows Proz very well! ;)
James Twist Feb 11, 2010:
Sylvy So tell your husband we need him in ProZ! :)
SYLVY75 Feb 11, 2010:
I asked my husband, who has worked in the field of electronics for 30 years now, and he told me exactly what Jim Dandy said, so I guess Jim is right. :)
James Twist Feb 10, 2010:
A 230V unsheathed power cord will expose 2 or 3 internal sheathed wires. You would then usually strip the plastic off the ends of the internal wires to expose the bare wire. The bare wire could well be 15mm long and could call itself a testimone but I've found no evidence to support this meaning of testimone.

Testimone
I think it is some kind of "control cable" or "test cable"

Reference:

"sondino"

I know I am not giving you an answer but just an idea. A testimone in my view is what we usually call sondino that is another cable used to attach the electric cable so to facilitate the passage through the wall and once arrived to the other side take it off. It gives me the idea of a testimone like the one used in relay races. This is my idea. I have found a couple of references that seem to explain it this way.
