1.0 SCOPE OF WORK

An electrical continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if the current flows
throughout the circuit. Continuity test is performed by applying a small voltage to one
end of the circuit and measuring on the other end.

The most common and basic way of performing a continuity test is with the help of a
resistance tester (any simple multi-meter with this function will do). This is because the
resistance of conductors between the two ends is usually very small (less than 100 ohm).

It should be noted that the continuity and insulation resistance tests for lighting circuit
described below can only be applied to a 'loop-in' wiring system only.

When we talk about Continuity Testing within the Inspection and Testing Procedure then
we apply the same principle, but with a bit more detail.

3.0 CONTINUITY 1.0 CONTINUITY OF CPC IN LIGHTING CIRCUIT


3.1 Test method 1 (CPC conductor terminated at the last point of the circuit and using the
neutral conductor as a return lead)
3.1.1 Connect the neutral conductor to the CPC conductor (earth wire) at the last point of
the circuit under test.
3.1.2 Test between neutral and earth of the circuit at the DB.
3.1.3 Record the test result obtained.
3.1.4 The readings should be compared with the "Resistance of copper conductors" table
for a particular length and size.

3.2 Test method 2 (CPC terminated at the switch panel and using the phase conductor as a
return lead)
3.2.1 Connect the phase conductor (phase wire) to the CPC conductor (earth wire) at the
switch panel.
3.2.2 Test between the phase and earth of the circuit at the DB.
3.2.3 Record the test result obtained.
3.2.4 The readings should be compared with the "Resistance of copper conductors" table
for a particular length and size.

4.0 INSULATION RESISTANCE IN LIGHTING CIRCUIT


4.1 A d.c voltage not less than twice (2x) the nominal voltage of the circuit concerned (r.m.s
value for an a.c supply) shall be applied for the measurement of insulation resistance,
provided that the test voltage need not exceed 500 V d.c for installations rated up to
500V.
4.2 Test method (CPC conductor terminated at the last point of the circuit)
4.2.1 Test between the phase (join together all phase conductors at the switch panel)
and the neutral at the DB.
4.2.2 Repeat the test for phase to CPC.
4.2.3 Test between the neutral and the CPC at the DB.
