A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK

Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on

Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale and

adjust zero if necessary.
— Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should

be less than 0.1

Ω (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts

are clean and tight.

B. INSULATION CHECK

Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on

Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale.

Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there

is a short circuit.

b) meter set on

Ω (Ohm) x 100 scale.

Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than

∞ (infinity) there is a

fault.

NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed

continuity check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace

the faulty component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be

found under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning

around the fault.
