Hi all,
I am using a Fluke 1662 with fused test leads. I find when doing continuity tests such as R1+R2, as the test button is being held the result fluctuates dramatically. Both increasing and decreasing. Seems to happen on insulation resistance as well however not so much. I also find after zeroing the leads with the Fluke zeroing adaptor, I press the test button again with the leads still in the adaptor and get a reading between 0.20 and 0.80 ohms.
Used a Megger before and never came across this.

Regards.

Personally it would annoy me having to use adaptors all the time. Can't you buy a proper UK one?
