[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 499965, member: 1607"] Murdoch's question is very relevant, also if it is an older existing circuit, are you testing with your meter probes directly onto the terminals on the back of the socket, or using one of those plug adapters that you can connect your meter leads into sockets on the front. As those plug adapters, when used into an old socket, can add a fair bit of resistance onto the readings compared to your meter probes directly onto the terminals on the back of the socket. So the age and your connection method are very relevant factors. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
