Sorry for the delay... You seem like an intelligent fellow. Another common trolling tactic - provoke an argument, and then while u 'heroically' and self righteously 'try to restrain urself' while answering the question, get some apparently random goon to post a comment like that in an...

:)

Notice how, now that Johnny realises that he is well and truly cornered, he pretends that the reason he is heroically running away, like a dog with its tail between its legs, is because of something i previously did and not because he has finally realised that i will not let him out of the trap...

As i thought, it doesn't answer the question at all - if a live C-test is done w/o me causing a short and with the probes properly attached etc.. etc.. how could the problem be caused? Stop trying to change the subject - the answer is 'it should not've caused the problem' Say it :lol...

Ha haaa, Pinocchio, :lol: That's what i like to see, someone so cornered that he can make no attempt to answer the question :lol: :lol: I've got u where i want u Pinocchio (and comrades), and i mean to press the advantage. Answer please :lol: :lol:

Well that may explain why the meter is fine, but please explain how that causes a 32a Mcb to trip and a cooker to meltdown. How does the protection of the meter equal a bang at the cooker and fuse board? Thanks Banal

Well, why am i not surprised that there aren't so many comments on that one. Notice John has completely avoided the question (like a professional liar). This was my original question Johnny boy, and i want u or someone else to answer it. How could live C-testing, w/o a short being caused...

Fellas don't think i haven't noticed the attempt to avoid answering the question: How does live continuity testing cause a 30 - 32 amp fuse to blow and a cooker to melt down? As Spark123's, SecureSpark's and Mike's answers (among others) indicate - it doesn't Don't bother reverse...

We're gonna have to clear something up here. I'm well aware that my comments (especially my earlier ones) revealed some ignorance. That's because i read up on this stuff 2 1/2 years ago and then pretty much forgot a afair bit of the detail (as u do when u cover something for the first time and...

Cheers Spark, I never put an ohmmeter across anything, some others here seem intent on using the terms 'continuity tester' and 'ohmmeter' interchangably and thereby confuse the issue - inaccurate readings are therefore not a problem as i've explained above. How can a continuity tester 'damage...

Thank you John, i don't remember saying that i hadn't read the instructions, and there's a good reason for that. More later

Mikey, Mikey, such bold faced dishonesty i've thankfully seldom witnessed. As you say the posts are there to be read and they prove w/o any doubt whatsoever that what I say is true The very next post… Mike knew I was testing live. And as in my immediately previous post – How you can...

There u go - Mike was completely aware that i was continuity testing with the power on and said it 'shouldn't cause an issue' When informed that i certainly had the probes connected properly, Mike then thinks the idea that there could be a flash-bang incident is so odd that it would require...

C'mon Sheds - don't be like that. Why don't u criticise all the spelling mistakes made on here simply because people couldn't be bothered correcting them. Ok Rocket - i'll grant that it's not a 'test', lets call it an 'action' then. Why aren't the results of my 'action' the same. I'm almost...
