Testing For Electrical Shorts And Continuity
1.
Using an ohmmeter or continuity tester, test for a short between the
center conductor and the shield.
2.
Connect a temporary short between the center conductor and the
shield at one end of the cable.
3.
At the other end of the cable, use an ohmmeter or continuity tester
to test for electrical continuity.
Important:
Replace the trunk-cable section if problems persist
with the cable after completing
these tests.
If resistance reading
indicates:
Then:
there is no short
continue to step 2
that a short exists
inspect the ends of the cable for shorted
circuits— if you are unable to locate a short,
replace the trunk-cable section
