Afternoon all, greetings from a miserable rainy yorkshire.
Was at college on Friday covering the topic of " Safe Isolation of Elecrical Systems". Tutor gets on to instruments that test for voltage, and he says that you have to buy one of these "safety lamp" affairs that has a cable as thick as your finger on it or we will all be pushing up the daisies.
I own a Fluke megohmMeter 1520, which according to the distructions says it will test up to 600V ac/dc. I know I purchased it to do the continuity and insulation resistance tests, but is there any reason why it can not be used to check power on/power off safely
ps the leads are fused, but not as thick as voltage indicators ( unlike me!!!)
thanks in advance
