Love it !!!
MFT just doesn't have the same visceral feel as cranking up the Megger, I'm told

You used to find the test lead attached to an apprentice as the boss turned the handle but not sure if that kind of thing is fround on these days

Thats not Ohms law. Its Krays law = resisiance is futile.
Hmmm one wonders where the "other" places they attatched it to

One night me n missus and another couple were all really sozzled. Got my Megger out for a laugh (as you do) and we would all instantly recoil and throw the probes down at 500V . Except for this lads missus, 1000V did not phase her at all. She literally didn't have any single reaction to it, and could hold onto them for five seconds and more.

Not a sensible thing to do I admit.

I used to get people by saying you could measure body resistance, I'd hold the ends first and let the 'victim' turn the handle with the selector switch set on ohms then when it was my turn to crank it up I'd casually turn the switch to 500v.

A hand wound megger was the first time I got my hands on any test equipment. I must have been about 8 years old. "Just hold these" said the old man as he manned the handle.

Hilarious
