when you say "mega" I am asuming you mean meggar-ohmmeternot the lottery This instrument is not appropriate to test for good grounding Good grounding requires LOW resistance
A Meggar is used for measuring for HIGH resistances You need a MICRO-ohmmeter or ground resistance meter A company called AEMC makes nice ground testers
What else can I help you with?
How can I find electrical ground in a house?
A cold water pipe is usually a ground. Nowadays with plastic pipe you can't be sure. If the pipe out of the foundation is copper chances are it is good. You can check it with a meter. You can also get an electrical ground rod and install it. It is just a 10' spike that you hammer into the ground and clamp a wire to. It will also give you a good ground. You may already have one at your home. Check by the service entrance for electricity and phone.
How is a test lamp used?
The big advantage to using a test lamp is that it allows you to know if the circuit is "hot" before you work on it. All good electricians shut the circuit off before starting any work on electrical circuits.
Does the clio hooter circuit have a fuse?
Yes, the hooter circuit in a car like the Renault Clio typically has a fuse to protect the electrical components in case of a fault. If the hooter is not working, it's a good idea to check the fuse first before investigating other potential issues.
Is water an open or closed circuit?
Water is neither an open or closed circuit. There is no electrical circuit without a power supply and a load. With that said, pure water is not a good conductor of electricity; if other matter/ions are present in the water, the conductivity may be high enough to consider it a good conductor.
Why does your motorcycle circuit breaker pop when you hit the brake?
Check the wire that goes to your break light. Somewhere along the circuit it is grounded before the lamp and after the switch. Look on the circuit from the switch to the lamp. What is happening is, the circuit is good up to the time that you apply the break. This closes that brake light switch, When the switch closes it sees the dead short and not the lamp. The breaker popping is protecting the circuit wiring from burning up.
How does good grounding in your house affect electricity bills?
'Good' grounding, or earthing, has no effect whatsoever on electricity bills. Electricity bills are based on your property's energy consumption. Grounding is simply a safety feature of the electrical system; it draws no energy.
How can I ensure the safety and effectiveness of grounding a portable generator?
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of grounding a portable generator, follow these steps: Use a grounding rod to connect the generator to the earth. Make sure the grounding rod is placed in a location with good soil conductivity. Check the generator's manual for specific grounding instructions. Regularly inspect the grounding connection to ensure it is secure. Avoid using the generator in wet or damp conditions to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Horn won't blow. How do I troubleshoot the horn electrical circuit on 200 Honda Civic?
First thing to check is the fuse. If the fuse is good check the relay. If that is good check wiring. Can also be the horn switch or the horn itself.

What wires do you use for an electrical circuit?
wires that have got good conductivity and less losses
What is a good energy source for a simple circuit?
A good energy source for a simple circuit is a battery. Batteries provide a consistent and portable source of electrical energy that can power various electronic devices and components in a circuit.
What does a good earth continuity imply?
A good earth continuity implies that there is a strong and consistent connection between the electrical equipment or appliance and the grounding point, ensuring that any fault current is directed safely to the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock and fire hazards. It is important for grounding systems to be properly installed and maintained to protect against electrical faults.
What local hardware stores sell circuit breakers in Bristol?
Local hardware stores would be a good place to start when looking for circuit breakers. Another resource to check out would be electrical supply stores. Avonvale Electrics on Winterstoke Road in Bristol is one such store.
Why won't wipers in a '92 Wrangler work if the wiper motor is good and the wiper switch is good?
Check ground circuit I believe that it is a "ground" switched circuit

If you have no power windows power locks or power to the moonroof but all your fuses check good what else should you check?
check the circuit braeker
How can you tell if a starter has went out on an Ford truck?
If the engine won't turn over when you operate the key that's a pretty good idea. You then check battery condition and connections first. If they are good, then go to the starter and check for good grounding and voltage when the key is turned.
