If so can they be fixed or should we buy a new panel. |
500K between terminals with breakers pulled is not bad especially if you are touching the probes while testing or if the weather is humid where you are. If you are measuring less than 100 ohms between outputs with the breakers pulled then you have a problem. Do a visual check if you find some that are shorted and you will find the the breaker females are pushed together or in some way are distorted and touching.
