Re: Tech Inspection

We just failed inspection, with a chassis to PDB resistance of about 970 KOhm to ~1 Mega Ohm. I was not there so I was unable to help troubleshoot or get a better understanding of the situation. Last I checked though, 1 Mega Ohm is indeed greater than 10 K ohms.

I was told (second hand) that we were told it indicated a short somewhere. It's late and has been a long week at work, but I am currently failing to see the logic that it indicates a short.

Any thoughts? Anything I could be missing? I can certainly help try and isolate branches (remove breakers 1 at a time, visually inspect wires and sensors, etc) but 1M is > 10K so I just fail to see how it is a sign of a problem. I am sure someone will enlighten me here though.
