Hi, I bought my leads a while ago but these will do the job no problem www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Banana-Plug-To-Banana-Plug-Test-Cable-Multimeter-Testing-15A-Red-Black-4mm-/303805005359 👍
Interesting, I'm not a Spark so just curious. If your meter is at the CU you have to keep walking backwards and forwards to all the sockets? If you have the meter at the socket (less walking) you have to remove the faceplate (more work) So why can't you have an adapter that would allow you to test at the socket without removing the faceplate? (less walking and less work)
Hi, Thanks for having an interest. It all depends on the installation that you are testing. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the sockets to check the connections anyway to make sure they are tight and no sign of burning is present. Other times, the board is so full of cable trying to access it can be potentially dangerous, this can cause additional faults to occur. The methods I demonstrated in the video give the inspector an option to use a combination of any test method. It will all be dependent on the job type and accessibility. Hope this helps a little. Regards Chris
Very simple, well explained tutorial. Thank you. I like the fact you showed testing from Cu & Socket Outlet end. Good revision .
Really helpful easy to understand breakdown of this test / handy guide - look forward to seeing more testing videos 👍
Thank you so much for the great video
Nicely explained
Great video
Really helpfull multiple way to take R1+R2
Radials are fun !
Hi, very helpful for r1 r2 readings. Have you a link for the banana to banana plug fly lead?
Cheers.

What about the same test on a heating switch with a parallel path in it? The heating switch has two earth so when you do this test how will you do it?

In the first test, you forgot to null the test plug, but otherwise all good. (Probably explains why it dropped from 0.74 to 0.67?)
Should not be using the converted plugtops !!!
Because?
Shouldn't or Mustn't?
Unshrouded banana plugs should not be used for this.
These are dead tests, so not really an issue.
