Hi Mike.

Thanks. Do you test using IEC 60601-1 in the field?

As I understood it, that 100 mili-ohm limit applies to earth-bond testing using a min 25A current, whereas the IEC 62353 test is at min 200mili-amps. The high current can overcome a lot of the contact-resistance at the plug and C13 connector.
