how should ring cont results relate to R1R2

[thomaspotato]

Sorry if this has been asked . How should the results or ring continuity relate to r1r2 results. Today I got L-L 0.32 N-N 0.30 E-E 0.56 and my r1r2 was 0.76

You would expect (R1+R2) to be around .21 if using 2.5 T&E

r2= r1x1.67=0.53

(r1+r2)/4=0.2125

You should use lower case "r" for end to end readings, and upper case for R1+R2 for clarity.

R1+R2 should be roughly equal to (r1+r2)/4

Did you investigate the cause of the reading ?

Your L-L and E-E measurements should add up to your r1 + r2.
Your R1 + R2 should be 1/4 of your r1 + r2.
