Expected results?

[Del Guajardo]

I was just wondering what results I should be expecting to see in all of my dead and live tests. If someone could help me with a list or something it'd be much appreciated.

how long's a piece of string? or cable in your case. your results all depend on the length and csa of the cable for starters. you'll need to ask a more specific question for help.

I just need a rough guide not specific results down to the decimal point. Like low ohm, high ohm etc.

Look in OSG for resistances of copper etc.

Zs = Ze +R1 +R2.

Insulation resistance higher the better >299.

What are you testing?

As Tel says its impossible to give a one size fits all reading. One tip though is, you can look in the green book for guidelines on what is and isn't acceptable for certain tests.

That's the word I was trying to dig out, guidelines! Yeah I'll have a scan through my OSG. Cheers fella.

Well it's for college, but I know there's a lighting circuit, ring circuit, shower circuit, garage circuit and a motor circuit.

What course are you doing? The tutor should have explained this in detail before you are ever expected to install and test circuits.
