[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 304886, member: 6969"] Testing JUST R2 on a cooker could be meaningless. What if it were a dual fuel cooker. It's mains could be totally disconnected but you would be measuring the return via the gas pipe and bonding. So no I wouldn't even think about just making an R2 measurement and extrapolating from that. The end of the circuit it the furthest accessory, but if in doubt measure at several points and the one with the highest reading is the end,. the figure 8 test is supposed to identify spurs. If the sockets are in that state that they are giving poor readings, suggest replacing them, or take measurements from the terminals on the back of the socket. [/QUOTE]
