200 - >200 - 299 - 500

And if the meter says infinity?

Buy a new meter, coz the one you're measuring with is wrong, which means it's a load of cack lol.

I'm gobsmacked that any electrician would need to ask the question in the first place!!

Really. You are gobsmacked? You must have some great life experiences if this question leaves you "gobsmacked".

What do you put down as an infinite result on the insulation resistance test???

No such thing, the meaning of infinite is endless, in other words you can not put a figure on it.

If any of us doing our 2360's in the 80's mentioned the word in relation to a test result, we got a b@ll@cking.

Well, ....it seems like at least 4 others here have exactly the same thoughts as me!! lol!!

 

[Guest125]

I do not think the question was gobsmacking though. It was only a question.

OK. Now you are baiting me.

No just saying like it is

I don' think it was the question that baffled E54....more that an "Electrician" actually asked this type of question.

My point was I know different blokes put a different thing in the box. I have always just put 200 and wondered what others put and why.

You are right though. Absolutely shocking. One day I may be as perfect as all you like to think that you are.

It's simple mate if my meter has a max reading of > 299 Mohms then that's what I enter in the box >299 if it is less than my meter's Max then that's what goes on the box, it's not flipping rocket science is it? come on mate get real will you.

When my meter shows >299 I normally put <1 in the box.

"Why?" I hear you ask,

Coz F&$K YOU! That's why!

Lol
