Hi
I am interested in making my own steel pendant light as a little project - not for sale.
The rose would be bare steel which I am going to lacquer. The ceiling rose strap has an earth and it is connected to the rose by side thumbscrews. I am going to remove some lacquer on the rose where the screwheads will sit for earth continuity of the rose.
The screws only have a small head so I wanted to check there is enough contact for earth continuity.
I have read online that the following requirements/test should be carried out:
"Maximum resistance 0.50
Measured by passing a minimum current of 10 A at between 6 V and 12 V for at least 1s"
I was wondering if this is something that a multimeter can do. Can you set the current on a multimeter? Sorry for the stupid questions I have never owned a multi meter. Alternatively would the built in continuity tests on the multi meter be satisfactory.
Cheers
