[QUOTE="Steve3948, post: 342262, member: 2497"] With digital meters these days we have become paranoid with readings, with the old wind up if the handle turned easy it was clear, a quick look and over 1 meg, classed as clear and move on, it was acceptable to have 0.5 Meg on conduit install, so what is the difference between 1 Meg and 10 Meg, both are clear readings as far as required to comply. I would not waste any time trying to locate a reading of 10 Meg, but would try to find what was causing a reading close to acceptable on a new install. If the meter had its last reading as 1 Meg and then infinity would we worry. [/QUOTE]
