Current Injection:
The tester injects a known large current (typically tens to hundreds of amperes) into the circuit or connection point under test.
Voltage Measurement:
Simultaneously measures the voltage drop across the test component when this current passes through it.
Resistance Calculation:
Calculates the resistance value using Ohm Law based on the measured current and voltage values.
