Conditions required for safe measurement of voltage exceeding 1000V DC [ DMMs, Clamp on meters ]

QThe 1500V range of my CM4374 is CAT IV 600V/CAT III 1000V. Is there any requirement for safe measurement?

    Timer calibration of withstanding voltage tester

    QI would like to calibrate the timer of the 3153. When I set the timer to 1s, it takes about 1.3s to confirm the output voltage. Is the unit defective?
