[QUOTE="binky, post: 555704, member: 490"] Ok, we look for the resistance of a circuit by linking live and neutral and testing a test result at the end of the circuit. For a lighting circuit on a 6amp MCB, it should be under 7.76 ohms. Sometimes you can have a slightly highish reading of say 6ohms which experience would tell a good tester should be nearer say 2.5 ohms. The circuit is not a fail under such circumstances, but some will note it on the cert as it may indicate a potential fault developing. Some will not note it, as it's still in spec. This is a common occurrence on test reports, as opinions vary as to note it or not. [/QUOTE]
