multimeter usage

[mikeyredtop]

ive got a multimeter which i use at work on cars will this be suitable for house voltage, amps etc...it has insulated prongs, havent got the instuctions so cant see any ratings on it...

 

[breezer]

what voltage will it measure up to?

 

[mikeyredtop]

jusr looked it rated @ 600volts and only 10amps

 

[breezer]

if that is 600v ac that will be fine, but be very carefull what you are doing ( I noted the other post regarding your shower) remeber this

electricity has no prejudices, it kills anyone

well i thought 240 wasnt that bad, just gives u a shock...

 

[breezer]

unfortunately you have no idea what so ever and do not understand, although you are trying to imcrease yor knowledge i think that in this case you best stick to being a mechanic

i know of ppl that have had shocks off 240 and it all depends on how good u are earthed, i guess if ur standing in water then ur chances arnt good.. but generally ur wearing rubber soled shoes and dont get much of a wack...

Well i'm no sparks, but when I was 19yrs I worked for BICC in Wood St, London. I learnt then that ANY mains voltage is to treated as Deadly. Anyone who thinks otherwise should stick to Airfix models.

If your going to quote someone, get it right.
