    Protection in Multi Meters

    I would like to get some information on what protection is on a multi meter when accidentally testing a live circuit while the meter is on the ohms range? I seem to be getting different sides to the argument. One side says that there is no protection against this other than a audible warning...

    Sharpening SDS drill bits -the Multi Sharp gadget.

    I can't find a previous thread on this topic, so here goes. There is one sort of house-brick that I dread encountering in my area - they are known as Ruabon Reds and they are extremely hard and unforgiving. After working a lot on two houses with these bricks the same week I've blunted almost...

    So checking for voltage on a brake light today on a Ford Transit 2016 custom. The drivers side is ok, the passenger side came up no voltage and gave a reading of -0.00. Multi meter set to 20v DC When keys are out of ignition the reading was 0.00 without the minus in front of it. I did try the...

    Multi way light switching

    Just an observation. Staircase serving 5 storeys….. how to turn on the light from any floor? See saw type rocker switch set into the ceiling and two really long bits of rope. I thought it was a pulley system for the servants of old to take heavy objects up to the guest bedrooms…. So I...

    Multi voltages in the same containment.

    Not wanting to derail the Dodgy work pictures thread but a comment was made that a fire alarm FP200 shouldn't be in trunking with 230V band 2 cables. Above is a quote from an NICEIC article discussing this subject. I've read that as the cable is "banded" not its voltage going through it. So...

    Which RCBO fits this merlin gerlin multi 9 board?

    The board in the picture below has 2 x RCBO's in it, they look like matches so I'm guessing schneider is the new merlin gerlin and that these RCBO's are a perfect fit? However, Schneider seem to do other RCBO's. Easy9, acti9 and others. The Acti9 looks like it may fit this board but it is more...

    Multi vent fan not working.

    Morning all.. I have just been to a regular customer who has a problem with their extractor fan, i.e it doesn't work.

    Robin KTS 1620 MULTI TESTER

    Hiya Sparks, I've recently acquired a robin kts1620. It's in good clean condition but has a fault. When it's cold (been in van over night) it works great, but when it gets to room temperature the relay does not click and it keeps restarting. It's a bit strange, has anyone heard of this before...

    I'm looking at buying my first multi function tester and I've seen many threads where people recommend the usual (megger) but I was wondering if they all do the same thing what is the point in spending £1000 and double the price when there are compatible testers for less than £500. Am I missing...

    Volvo 850 multi connector

    I have an old Volvo 850 and have been diagnosing a problem with the abs. I narrowed it down to the multi connector which connects to the abs unit in the engine bay. Is there a way of pulling the individual cables out of multi connector for inspection?
