K-Test
Use this function to find the approximate distance to a resistance fault when both wires in a single pair are faulted at the same place, and a separate good pair or a single loop conductor is not available.
Resistance Check
Before you start the
The resistance faults must be common to the reference conductor.
One fault must be at least twice as “heavy” as the other fault (e.g., 5kΩ is twice as “heavy” as 10kΩ).
The sum of both faults must be at least 100 times the loop resistance of the pair (for instance, if the loop resistance is 50Ω, the fault sums must be 5kΩ or greater).
