11.5 DC Resistance [R]
Table 11.52: Available DC Resistance measurements in the MI 3290
11.5.1 Ω - Meter (200 mA) Measurement
The resistance measurement is performed in order to assure that the protective measures
against electric shock through earth bond connections are effective. The resistance
measurement is performed with DC current of 200 mA.
