Measured values on my insulation resistance meter vary. What might be causing this?

Q

A

The digital insulation resistance meter I’m using displayed “OF.”

QWhat does this mean?

A

New standard for test probes

QI heard that the IEC 61010 international safety standard for measuring instruments has been revised. What has changed?

A

The polarity (+/-) was reversed when I made a measurement using the resistance range. Is the instrument broken?

QI have a question about an analog tester. The polarity (+/-) is reversed when performing measurements with the resistance range. Why is this? Wouldn’t this invite mistakes, for example when checking diode polarity?

A

Inability to start a withstanding test

QWhen I try to start the test, measurement does not start.

Infrared thermometer measurable temperature range

QHow far away can an infrared thermometer take readings?

A

Clamp sensor voltage to earth

QThe specifications for the Clamp On Leak HiTester 3283 indicate a maximum rated voltage to earth of 300 V rms AC (insulated conductor) (CAT III, 300 V). Can the 3283 be used to measure a 3-phase 400 V circuit?
