GOOD
METER
MEASUREMENT
PRACTICES
Here are sorne
good
general
ru
les
that
apply
to
the
use of
electrical meters.
Some
are common·sense.
some
are
safety
precautions
.
and
sorne
are
just
plain
good
habits
to
get
into.
1. CAUTION:
There
is always
the
possibility
of
dangerous
voltage being present
in
any piece
of
elect
rical/e!ectronic
e
quipment.
Always
use ex.treme
caution
when
making
measurements-
high voltage
may
appear
at
unexpected
points
in a suspected defective circuit.
2.
When making measurements. n
ever
stand
on
a
wet
or
damp
floor.
Do
not
work
near
(or
on)
any
grounded
meta
l
abjec
-t -
for
example.
a
metal
work
table,
metal
water
or
gas pipes. metal electrical
conduit.
Ac
.cidental
contact
between
the
grounded
meta
l
abject
and
the
circuit
und
er
test
can
be
lethal.
3. Always
use
only
weH·insulated
test
leads. Never use
test
leads
without
tnsulated
test
prods.
Never
aHo
w
y
ou
r fingers
to
touch
the
bare
meta
l
pa
rt
of
the
test
probes
{or
circuit
points).
4.
Ncver use
test
leads
with
frayed
or
broken
insulation;
voltages
will
appear
at
ali
exposed
contact
points
on
tneleads.
5.
Never
attemp
t
to
measure voltages
or
currents
above
the
specified
maximum
the
meter
ts designed
fo
_r; refer
to
the
specifications section.
