Can anyone explain to me please:
What exactly is the difference between a short circuit test and a resistance to earth test ie when testing a fan / pump? If testing a componet such as a fan/pump and you are testing between the LIVE & EARTH and NEUTRAL & EARTH terminals - would a short circuit (ie fault with the pump/fan windings) be proved by the multimeter reading continutiy (ie a 0.01 ohms reading)? Is this called a resistance to earth test OR a short circuit test?
Thanks for helping.
