Thanks, Richard, for the true facts. However, we can look at the facts
another way. Since the test is passed, provided the fault does not get
worse, the product remains safe. It's not an ideal situation, but it
seems that something like a 100 A test would be required in order to
detect a fault of either type described.

Hi Regan and all:
As I’m sure you know by now, I subscribe to engineering principles,
not to the various safety standards. Some years ago, I did some tests
to determine the better production-line test for the grounding
circuit. I documented my findings in an article in the Product Safety
Newsletter, Volume 10, Number 2.
Neither the high-current test nor the ohmmeter (or continuity) test
are likely to find broken strands or loose connections. I have
attached my article.
Best regards,
Rich
