bigrockk, Thanks for that link!. Having said that, I would never use a multi-meter to test anything more than appliances while they are live. I normally use Duspol solenoid testers above 230V and for 400V work. Above this I use a Modiewark for Voltage sensing at voltages 3.3kV-66kV on the end of a Hotstick. I also have a Phasing out set, for use on 3.3- 66kV. You have to be Verycareful working with High Energy circuits, these things really pack a punch if wrong connections happen!.
