Good Morning, C
Can anyone put me right please.
I was of the understanding that a multimeter (just buying a Dilog DL9206) as my old one has died, will measure continuity; having just installed a 13A radial circuit & 2 x wall lights (not connected to supply yet) I was intending to do some testing, R1+R2 & Ze loop test, prior to getting it done professionally. This testing is purely for my own purpose's. I have recently read that the R1+R2 requires a small current in order to obtain the correct continuity results ?.
My question is, can a multimeter actually be used to obtain R1+R2 measurement or not.
Thanks in advance.
p.s Thanks to everyone who read my post, Now have the answer; with the DL9206 I measured a long extension & got 6Ω, the test current is 3mA so the voltage must be 1.5V . A good buy.
Best Regards. Mick
