    Confused! R1+R2 from Zs-Ze commercial EICR

    Thank you for your feedback! Means a lot! I know I’m inexperienced still as I have a hell of a lot to learn. And always learning new things each day on the tools. I’ve found that I’m more of an introvert and the commercial building site setting doesn’t work for me. I enjoy banter but those sites...
