Two test leads, one port

[Haworth]

Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve by joining the 2 leads to perform an IR test.

It’s just rather that clipping L&N together when doing test where there might be unknown loads.

I get that it’s a two lead test. But watching a GSH video where they do IR test, rather than using croc clip to L&N they had this funky looking piggyback lead.

So still using 2 test leads?.....just a way of joining the cable cores together rather than crocing them?

Please post a pic if you find it...

What's the point though, as opposed to croc-ing L+N in a single clip?

I think I'm missing something here.

I’m with you Tony.....just trying to build a picture of what @Haworth is talking about

Non really, just wanted to know if you could buy these things.

Kewtech do a pack of 4 shorting links with a Croc clip at both ends, this is what I use for this sort of thing.

Quite often in a DB the live and neutral terminals can be quite far from each other and its less messy to add a test link between the two than drag one conductor out of a big bunch of cables.
