Electrical Test : Continuity Test and Earth Continuity Test

Electrical test are important to make sure the wiring is safe condition and good to use. Before giving supply to the any wiring, the safe way to check the wire are safe is by doing some electrical test.  Now we are going to look continuity test and earth continuity test.

Continuity Test

Continuity test are so simple to test.Continuity test is carried by checking a conductor such as Live or Neutral to make sure the conductor able to carry current without any problems. Multi meter are used in this test. If a continuity of conductor is perfect the multi meter will show 0Ω means it's infinite.The multi meter prob must place in L-L and N-N Terminal. As the picture shown below for continuity test for lamp and socket.

Earth Continuity Test

Earth continuity test are similar to the Conductor like Live or Neutral continuity test. But this test earth conductor only used to test. Same multi meter are used in the test.The multi meter prob must place at E-E terminal. The multi meter will show 0Ω means it's infinite. The picture below show the earth continuity test for lamp and socket.
