    Megger mft 1553, continuity all over the place.

    Dear all. Does anyone know who can repair my MFT, continuity not stabilising and fluctuates. I know it's the banana connection for the leads as this is a known fault, mine has been replaced / repaired every calibration. No longer supported so parts not available. Cant bear to part with it.

    Max continuity reading for bonding

    Good evening I was always taught the gas and water bonds should have a continuity ideally with a maximum of 0.05 ohms, is this a exact maximum or a rule of thumb and if it was higher than this what coding would we give it? I had a look through the codebreakers booklet but could not bit see an...

    PIR Continuity

    I bought a PIR for an installation the other day and I was intending to use it for a contact but as soon as power is applied the live and switched live have continuity whether the PIR is triggered or not, I’ve tested a couple of different PIRs already installed and this doesn’t seem to be the...

    Continuity line-earth

    This may seem a simple problem but I'm racking my brains here. Doing some fault finding on some contractors that supply some panel heaters. I thought I'd do a simple r1+r2 test to find out which contactor supplys the specific heater that I was working on. Problem is, all the lines on the...

    Do you test the continuity of an installations main incoming earth

    This may seem like a stupid question but when testing for continuity using the long lead method I know you test the water and gas bonds etc but do you test the incoming earthing cable. I ask this because reading guidance note 3 it talks about the earthing conductor to be tested and I am slightly...

    Earth Continuity Testing

    As part of my new job, we are required to test existing DC Power Racks for Telecoms. We are told to carry out a earth continuity test, then a IR test, then a ELI test. I may be getting a little complacent the older I get, but surely Earth Continuity is slightly OTT? I mean, we're proving an...
