Picked up an old loop tester with 25A L-E test current. Obviously

Test loop impedance, having bridged out the RCD first :-)


Just bridging it would be dangerous surely. Bridge N and fusewire or MCB the L. But Fs have R, changing the result. What's the way forward?

Could it test earth electrodes too?
