I am about to screw and glue down T&G flooring in a new loft, I have laid wiring underneath, ready for an electrician to come do the final wiring, test and certify at a later date.
To make sure my cables have been routed correctly (ie away from insulation) and will carry the correct current without any issues, I have bought one of these to test the laid cables.:

I understand a voltage, twice the operating voltage (LV 240v), should be used to test (500V), with a resistance reading of 2 Mega Ohm or greater deemed satisfactory. Could someone advise if that is correct, thanks.
