Got a call from an electrical engineer and he wants the circuits in a home addition megged. It appears that a homeowner built an addition to his house without a permit and now the electrical inspector wants a EE to sign of on the project before a CO issued ( walls finished ). The discrepancy in square footage was caught by the loan company ( they require the CO before the loan goes through). My question is this. I have never megged any romex and I'm not sure what the proper reading would be. I visited the Southwire site and they give you some numbers to play with and then say in a foot note that field test are not reliable. Have any of you done this sort of thing and if so what were the results. I learned to use a megger in the military about 30 years ago but they provided the specs.
