Hi
I'm a product design student working on a project and am looking to get some advice.
I would like to buy a cheap test instrument that can carry out the following earth continuity test.
Maximum resistance 0,50 ohms measured by passing a minimum current of 10 A at between 6 V and 12 V for at least 1 second.
Basically the component is two pieces of metal held together with machine screws. The metal has been powdercoated and I have removed some paint under the screwhead. I want to check enough paint has been removed so that it would pass the above test.
Would a cheap multimeter be able to do this?
I have looked at continuity multimeter videos on youtube but I can't see how you can set amps and voltage on the continuity setting.
Many thanks
