    ring circuit test

    Hi all just wanted to confirm as got the nic man and anything that comes up, want to be confident in the answer. Am i right saying that the r1 & r2 reading on a reading circuit should be ruffly the quarter of the end to end readings added up ie L2L=0.26 N2N=0.26 L2L=0.43 TOTAL = 0.95...
