Yep, a couple of fixed lengths of singles and measure the resistance of them and note it on the cable, job done!
Why not null / zero the meter with the wander lead connected saves time subtracting figures as the reading on the meter will be the one to go on the cert
why bother with a wander lead as on the test sheets you can put the r1 +r2 results also alot quicker !!
I've had trouble with kewtech and fluke meters where the auto null option doesn't work reliably (have to admit my megger seems fine though). So just down to personal choice
This one rolls in and out like a salamander's tongue.
I have to voice up here. I bought one of the proper Kewtech 50m wander leads and I'm very happy I did - I use it regularly for fault finding, identifying conductors and earth continuity checks. Personally I think it was money well spent as 50m of good fine-strand flexible cable is not cheap anyway and I could not imagine using single core. It would get tangled, tripped over, and be a right pain to use. This one rolls in and out like a salamander's tongue.
How often do you use the full length?
This is a public forum
Better to buy the 50m in case you do need it eh!
low ohm test at the fuse board across PN&E check for inter connection then connect out P&E at sockets. resistance should be about double of phase and neutral ring tests at the board as a general rule ( obviously an abridged version of the test but you should get my meaning )

What method do you use to verify continuity of bonding conductors?

Maybe he dosen't test the continuity of the bonding conductors or he has a new method of doing it using the socket circuit?
Isn't it amazing how these methods are not in any of the books or taught on the
2391 or did I miss something?
thanks for the input maby i cud do with reconcidering a few things ,and admitting that im wrong ,sarcasom maby a bit un called for wer not all perfect
