An avionics technician is inspecting a de-energized multi-conductor wiring harness to verify that no internal short circuits exist between adjacent wires. With both ends of the harness completely disconnected from all components and power sources, the technician sets a digital multimeter to the resistance () function and connects the test leads across two separate, insulated conductors. If the insulation between these two conductors is completely intact, what should the multimeter display?
- AA reading of approximately , confirming continuity between the two conductors.
- An over-limit or infinite resistance reading (), indicating an open circuit between the conductors.Cevap
- CA fluctuating DC voltage reading generated by the meter's internal measurement circuit.
- DA nominal resistance of approximately , reflecting standard conductor insulation resistance.
Cevap
An over-limit or infinite resistance reading (), indicating an open circuit between the conductors.
When testing between two separate, properly insulated wires in a de-energized harness, there should be no conductive path between them. A digital multimeter set to resistance mode will measure this absence of continuity as infinite resistance, displayed on the digital screen as 'OL' (open loop/over-limit).
