Episode 39 Fluke T110 Voltage Tester & Testing Single and 3 Phase Power 

Pressing the round buttons on the main unit and probe together reduces the impedance from 200KΩ to 7KΩ.

+Arne Schwaab Its always a good idea to check and switch off before working on any mains power circuits.

+Evione Electronics No - I mean that it is simply not allowed and common to use a Multimeter to check power circuits as Professional Electrician (commercially) .

+Arne Schwaab It is described in the Standard "Din VDE 0680"

Arne Schwaab I think you’ll find it’s mandatory in this country also.

They are general use gloves and cost £1.40 at screwfix

For love of Jesus Christ! If you aren't educated and experienced electrician with high voltage allowance!! DON'T YOU DARE TO EVEN THING OF TOUCHING ANYTHING INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE!!!

@@daliborzvak3973 It's hard to take a comment on "being educated" seriously when you don't even know how to spell the word "think "properly.

@@Xxxcappie23 wow! Bull's eye!! I'm destroyed!!! Disabled from combat!!! For fuck's sake! Have you ever heard of automatic words finishing? Or how's that evil function named... I give a size of earth fuck of what you say because the point is as far from you as even Hawking can't imagine!

Unfortunately that is an operational workbench. At the time it was the only place I could do the review. We have grown a lot since then and I now use a small office space for my videos.

These Flukes are very safe, everyone in the trade can confirm.. still using a separate proving unit is the law in most countries

The ones I used are semi insulated. They just guard against accidental contact and such. I suggest proper insulated gloves and an inspection of your leads and meter before testing any high energy circuits.

Thank you for the quick response. Great video.

+Stratos Vasilas make sure its ac and it displays 230/120v while being connected to both neutral and phase. If it then does not work contact fluke or the retailer.

Rotation only applies to three phase power. To determine phase rotation, you press the probes at two different phases and by holding the plastic body you provide a capacitive coupling to ground. That's how the meter is able to determine the phase sequence without hooking up three wires as the traditional little rotational testers do. When he was measuring from phase to ground the 'L' did light up, but that has no significance, you need to measure phase to phase. Same deal when he was measuring the socket outlet.

thanks for the answer, its been a year and i still didn't knew what those lights were about. :)

Had to watch the video to check. :-) It is a Brymen TBM800 series.

it's a wiggy

Mark Shaw, connection like a circle.

Duck Man Thank you duckman, I presume that the "circle" can have continuity without needing a current to pass through ? Thank you for you answer.

@@AfricanSouthernCross exactly. Basically you can touch ie. single detached wire and see if has continuity etc. Tester will show and beep rapidly if has. Obviously useful in ie. 24vdc circuit when checking for ground points etc.
