if that reading is 120Meg. then it's fine. worry not. now link out L-E at 1 end and measure R1+R2. do the same with N-E. the 48 volts could be due to a broken or poor connection on the cpc.

120meg ohm?? If so then its fine your allowed 2 ... It's just people have a tendency to write +200meg ohm on the test sheet and people get led to believe that's the minimum.. I'd happily put my tongue on the insulation with that much resistance mate :)
