The Electrical Safety Authority tested some meters on the wrong settings.

am I right in saying this?

And also when measuring current, we can't just measure across a wire; we would have to cut it or splice it in half so that we don't blow the fuse to our meter. :)

@Gizmologist09 They all have specially rated fuses inside anyway so yes I agree with you.
(As I'm told): Our maintainance guy tried to meter the 480 feed to the building with a Fluke 87. The slight problem was he metered the 13.2 side of the pole pig and POW. The meter blew up in his face. I guess 13.2 can overcome any fuse or board foils and cause a big explosion. I think handheld meters aren't rated against that high of voltage maybe a few KV and that's it.

100% BS fake. There is no component or trace in a multimeter that will be able to generate that degree of explosion when connected to any typical line voltage 120, 24, 208, 277 or 480volts. The trace will simply flash open like a fuse.
There may be a bang but not like that.

@hannobisschoff1 good to know, I was testing for 10k VDC today on a turbine, that was assured to be cold. Very unsettling day lol
-
@PFCSmith07 you mean don't test volts with resistance or continuity selected. AHAHAHAHAH! Not everyone can afford a fluke, there are lots of other good multimeters out there. Just watch eevblog.
-
Is the multi-meter okay???
-
Dont test for resistance or continuity with volts selected. AHAHAHAHAH! Get a fluke!
-
ESA=Canada=600 volts instead of 480 volts.

Thanks, now I need to go the psychologist.

@TexasLonghornFan63 Yes it was a real fake dummy. We could not get anyone to hold the meter

is the person in the video some kind of robot? he doesn't move like he is locked up and any one else would have moved i'm sure...

Haha, it was one of our inspectors. Just kidding no inspectors were harmed in the making of this video
