[QUOTE="Mike Sokol, post: 58788, member: 1989"] Re: School is in Agreed.... I love my Fluke meters. As you note, a high quality meter (such as a Fluke) has less of a chance of turning into a fireball of burning copper and melting your face off (called an arc flash). Poking meter leads around high amperage circuits is really dangerous since the energies involved are enough to vaporize meter components, test leads or a screwdriver in the wrong place. You've got to be careful around this high current stuff because the short circuit amperage can be far more dangerous than a 120 volt shock. [/QUOTE]
