Re: Opinions



Panels don't see resistance. They see voltage. The difference in resistance
is what changes the value of the voltage, or simply put, the tolerances
between the two determine the status of the loop (as the panel sees
it -open/closed/short). There is no benefit, just another means of testing a
circuit. Where it would make a difference is if you were hunting for a
ground fault on a circuit.
