Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

The test current and output power are chosen for the asset: a low-power test reveals contamination between contact surfaces that a higher current would burn through, while a higher current and power heat weak points such as rough contact surfaces or frayed strands and expose them as a reading that changes during the test; too much current heats the test piece and shifts its resistance.
