the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the
jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the
equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When
the exposed metallic part has a return path to thechassis, the reading
should be between 1 M and 5.2 M . When the exposed metal does
