Generic Measurement - Actual busbars and fasteners might appear different

4. Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance between the copper portion of the positive ring terminal and the busbar to which that terminal is secured.

Note: The maximum acceptable resistance is 0.150 mΩ (150 μΩ). If the resistance is above this value, escalate a Toolbox session, as appropriate.
